Explicit construction of irreducible modules for \(U_q(\mathfrak{gl}_n)\) (Q2000115)

In a previous paper [Adv. Math. 343, 681--711 (2019; Zbl 1446.17014), the authors of the paper under review proved a conjecture by Lemire and Patera regarding the Gelfand-Tsetlin contruction of representations of \(\mathfrak{gl}_n\) and extended the construction. The present paper shows how to deform that construction to obtain families of irreducible modules for the quantum group \(U_q(\mathfrak{gl}_n)\). New irreducible modules are given explicitly using certain tableaux.
