Abstract: A general scheme for the wedge construction of q-deformed Fock spaces using the theory of perfect crystals is presented. Let Uq(g) be a quantum affine algebra. Let V be a finite-dimensional U'q(g)-module with a perfect crystal base of level~l. Let VaffsimeqVotimesC[z,z−1] be the affinization of V, with crystal base (Laff,Baff). The wedge space VaffwedgeVaff is defined as the quotient of VaffotimesVaff by the subspace generated by the action of on votimesv (v an extremal vector). The wedge space (rinN) is defined similarly. Normally ordered wedges are defined by using the energy function . Under certain assumptions, it is proved that normally ordered wedges form a base of . A q-deformed Fock space is defined as the inductive limit of as roinfty, taken along the semi-infinite wedge associated to a ground state sequence. It is proved that normally ordered wedges form a base of the Fock space and that the Fock space has the structure of an integrable Uq(g)-module. An action of the bosons, which commute with the U'q(g)-action, is given on the Fock space. It induces the decomposition of the q-deformed Fock space into the tensor product of an irreducible Uq(g)-module and a bosonic Fock space. As examples, Fock spaces for types A2n(2), Bn(1), A2n−1(2), Dn(1) and Dn+1(2) at level~1 and A1(1) at level~k are constructed. The commutation relations of the bosons in each of these cases are calculated, using two point functions of vertex operators.
