Finite crystals and paths

From MaRDI portal





The main object of this paper is to define a set of paths from a finite crystal, which is not necessarily perfect, and investigate its crystal structure. They consider a category of finite crystals of a quantum affine algebra and set of paths, semi-infinite tensor product of an object of this category with a certain boundary condition. It is shown that the set of paths is isomorphic to a direct sum of infinitely many, in general, crystals of integrable highest weight modules. Some examples are presented from \(C_{n}^{(1)}\) and \(A_{n-1}^{(1)}\), in which the direct sum becomes a tensor product as suggested from the Bethe Ansatz.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0963.00024].
