Monomial bases for quantum affine \(\mathfrak{sl}_n\) (Q702701)

The authors show the following theorem: Let \(\mathbf{U}=\mathbf{U}_v(\widehat{\mathfrak sl_n})\). Then there is a partition \(\Omega=\bigcup_{\pi\in\Pi^s}\Omega_{\pi}\) such that, for any subset \(\Omega^{\pm}\subset\Omega\) with \(| \Omega^{\pm}\cap\Omega_{\pi}| =1\) for every \(\pi\in\Pi^s\), the set \[ \{F_yK_{\mathbf{a}}E_w\mid y\in\Omega^-, w\in\Omega^+, \mathbf{a} \in\mathbb{Z}I\} \] forms a basis for \(\mathbf{U}\). The proof of the above theorem uses the idea of generic extensions of nilpotent representations of a cyclic quiver with \(n\) vertices.
