Polyhedral realizations of crystal bases for integrable highest weight modules (Q1305443)

Let \(g\) be a symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebra and \(U_q(g)\) denote the associated quantized enveloping algebra. For a dominant integral weight \(\lambda\) let \(V(\lambda)\) denote the integrable highest weight \(U_q(g)\)-module with highest weight \(\lambda\) and \(B(\lambda)\) be the associated crystal introduced by Kashiwara. An interesting and important problem is to give good realizations of the crystal \(B(\lambda)\). In this paper the author has obtained an explicit realization of the crystal \(B(\lambda)\) in terms of a set of lattice points of some polyhedral convex cone in the infinite integral lattice. In particular in the rank two case, Chebyshev polynomials appear in this polyhedral realization.
