Abstract: We consider the crystal structure of the level zero extremal weight modules $V(lambda)$ using the crystal base of the quantum affine algebra constructed by Beck, Chari and Pressley. This approach yields an explicit form for the U^- extremal weight vectors in each connected component of the crystal of $V(lambda)$, which are given as Schur functions in the imaginary root vectors. We use this fact to demonstrate Kashiwara's conjectures regarding the crystal structure of $V(lambda)$.

Review text

Let \(\widehat{{\mathfrak g}}\) be a symmetric untwisted affine Lie algebra and \(U_q(\widehat{{\mathfrak g}})\) the quantum affine algebra as in \textit{J. Beck, V. Chari} and \textit{A. Pressley} [Duke Math. J. 99, 455-487 (1999; Zbl 0964.17013)]. The crystal structure of the level zero extremal weight modules \(V(\lambda)\) is considered by using the crystal base of \(U_q(\widehat{{\mathfrak g}})\). An explicit form for extremal weight vectors in the \(U^-\) part of each connected component of the crystal is given by using Schur functions in the imaginary root vectors. Thus a conjecture of Kashiwara is checked in the symmetric untwisted case.
