Double MV cycles and the Naito-Sagaki-Saito crystal. (Q390729)

The author generalizes the crystal operator formula of \textit{P. Baumann} and \textit{S. Gaussent} [Represent. Theory 12, 83-130 (2008; Zbl 1217.20028)] to the case of double Mirković-Vilonen (shortly MV) cycles; this works in all untwisted affine cases. The formula is applied to the case of type A double MV cycles, by providing an explicit isomorphism of crystals between the set of double MV cycles and the Naito-Sagaki-Saito (shortly NSS) crystal for \(\widehat{sl}_n\) described by \textit{S. Naito} et al. [Springer Proc. Math. Stat. 40, 361-402 (2013; Zbl 1355.17013)]. As a consequence, it is given a new proof of the fact that the NSS crystal is isomorphic to the \(B(\infty)\)-crystal; the result is new for \(n=2\).
