A combinatorial realization of Kirillov-Reshetikhin crystals for type E arising from translations (Q2068194)

In the paper under review, the author provides a new combinatorial realization of Kirillov-Reshetikhin crystals \(B^{r,s}\) for type \(E_n ^{(1)}\), where \(r\) is a minuscule node and \(s\) is a positive integer. Let \(w_0\) be the longest element of the Weyl group \(W\) and let \(w_J\) be the longest element of the parabolic subgroup of \(W\) determined by \(r\). We set \(w^J := w_0w_J\). The author first interprets the infinite crystal \(B(\infty)\) of type \(E_n^{(1)}\) from the viewpoint of PBW bases and find a tensor product decomposition \[ B(\infty) \simeq \mathbf{B}^J \otimes \mathbf{B}_J, \] where \(\mathbf{B}^J\) is a the crystal of the quantum unipotent subalgebra \(U_q(w^J)\). Following the the author's previous work with \textit{J.-H. Kwon}, J. Comb. Theory, Ser. A 168, 219--254 (2019; Zbl 1447.17013)], the author then defines an affine crystal structure on \( \mathbf{B}^J\). Using the fact that the crystal \( \mathbf{B}^J\) can be understood as a limit of the crystals \(B(s \varpi_r)\) as \(s \rightarrow \infty\), the author describes a subcrystal of \( \mathbf{B}^J\) isomorphic to the Kirillov-Reshetikhin crystal \(B^{r,s}\) in a combinatorial way.
