Global crystal bases of quantum groups (Q1210411)

The author constructs the global crystal bases of the \(q\)-analogue \(A_ q({\mathfrak g})\) of the coordinate ring of the reductive algebraic group associated with the Lie algebra \({\mathfrak g}\) by using the same method as in his paper [Duke Math. J. 63, 465-516 (1991; Zbl 0739.17005)]. The main theorem of this paper is in \S7.4: Theorem 1. (i) \(A_ q^{\mathbb{Q}}({\mathfrak g})\cap L(A_ q({\mathfrak g}))\cap \overline{L}(A_ q({\mathfrak g})) \to L(A_ q({\mathfrak g}))/qL(A_ q({\mathfrak g}))\) is an isomorphism. (ii) Letting \(G\) be the inverse of the isomorphism above, we have \(A_ q^{\mathbb{Q}}({\mathfrak g})= \oplus_{b\in B(A_ q({\mathfrak g}))} \mathbb{Q}[q,q^{-1}] G(b)\). The author also gives an explicit form of the global crystal base of \(A_ q(sl_ 2)\) and examines Berenstein and Zelevinsky's conjecture as an example.
