Fermionic formulas for \((k,3)\)-admissible configurations (Q1884454)

Summary: We obtain the fermionic formulas for the characters of \((k, r)\)-admissible configurations in the case of \(r=2\) and \(r=3\). This combinatorial object appears as a label of a basis of certain subspace \(W(\Lambda)\) of level-\(k\) integrable highest weight module of \(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_r\). The dual space of \(W(\Lambda)\) is embedded into the space of symmetric polynomials. We introduce a filtration on this space and determine the components of the associated graded space explicitly by using vertex operators. This implies a fermionic formula for the character of \(W(\Lambda)\).
