On level-zero representation of quantized affine algebras.

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study the properties of level zero modules over quantized affine algebras. The proof of the conjecture on the cyclicity of tensor products by Akasaka and the present author is given. Several properties of modules generated by extremal vectors are proved. The weights of a module generated by an extremal vector are contained in the convex hull of the Weyl group orbit of the extremalweight. The universal extremal weight module with level zero fundamental weight as an extremal weight is irreducible, and isomorphic to the affinization of an irreducible finite-dimensional module.


An extremal weight vector is a generalization of highest weight vectors. The first part of this long paper studies modules of a quantized affine algebra generated by an extremal vector of weight \(\lambda\). It is shown that all the weights are contained in the convex hull of the Weyl group orbit of \(\lambda\). Moreover, if the extremal vector has a level-zero fundamental weight then the module is irreducible and isomorphic to the affinization of an irreducible finite dimensional module. In the second part, the author proves a conjecture set forth in \textit{T. Akasaka} and \textit{M. Kashiwara} [ Publ. Res. Inst. Math. Sci. 33, 839--867 (1997; Zbl 0915.17011)], about the irreducibility of the tensor product of certain fundamental representations, with the use of canonical bases.
