Young diagrams and the image of the Kashiwara embedding for \({\mathcal U}_{q}(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}(n))\) (Q1408765)

The author describes the crystal graph of an irreducible module of highest weight \(N\Lambda_0\) of \({\mathcal U}_q(\widehat{\mathfrak sl}(n))\), where \(N\in {\mathbb N}\) and \(\Lambda_0\) is a fundamental weight, in terms of \(N\)-tuples of coloured Young diagrams. This description differs from that given by \textit{M. Jimbo}, \textit{K. C. Misra}, \textit{T. Miwa} and \textit{M. Okado} [Commun. Math. Phys. 136, 543--566 (1991; Zbl 0749.17015)]. Moreover, the author uses this description to obtain an explicit set of inequalities defining the cone whose lattice points give the image of one of the Kashiwara embeddings.
