Higher order Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules for \(\mathbf{U}_q(A_{n}^{(1)})\), imaginary modules and monoidal categorification (Q6082364)

In this paper the authors study higher order versions of Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules (KR-modules) for a quantum loop algebra associated to a simple Lie algebra of type \(A_n\). They also study the relations between higher order KR-modules and the work on monoidal categorification of cluster algebras of \textit{D. Hernandez} and \textit{B. Leclerc} [Duke Math. J. 154, No. 2, 265--341 (2010; Zbl 1284.17010)]. The results obtained are applied to give a systematic way to construct imaginary modules, where 'imaginary', for a finite-dimensional irreducible module, means that its tensor square is not irreducible. In fact, it is shown that the tensor product of a (higher order) KR-module with its dual always contains an imaginary module in its Jordan-Hölder series.
