Crystal structure on rigged configurations and the filling map (Q2341066)

Summary: In this paper, we extend work of the first author [ J. Algebra 285, No. 1, 292--334 (2005; Zbl 1142.17304)] on a crystal structure on rigged configurations of simply-laced type to all non-exceptional affine types using the technology of virtual rigged configurations and crystals. Under the bijection between rigged configurations and tensor products of Kirillov-Reshetikhin crystals specialized to a single tensor factor, we obtain a new tableaux model for Kirillov-Reshetikhin crystals. This is related to the model in terms of Kashiwara-Nakashima tableaux via a filling map, generalizing the recently discovered filling map in type \(D_n^{(1)}\).
