Paths, tableaux andq-characters of quantum affine algebras: theC_ncase

Abstract: For the quantum affine algebra

U_{q} (h a t m a t h f r a k g)

with

m a t h f r a k g

of classical type, let

c h i_{l a m b d a / m u, a}

be the Jacobi-Trudi type determinant for the generating series of the (supposed)

q

-characters of the fundamental representations. We conjecture that

c h i_{l a m b d a / m u, a}

is the

q

-character of a certain finite dimensional representation of

U_{q} (h a t m a t h f r a k g)

. We study the tableaux description of

c h i_{l a m b d a / m u, a}

using the path method due to Gessel-Viennot. It immediately reproduces the tableau rule by Bazhanov-Reshetikhin for

A_{n}

and by Kuniba-Ohta-Suzuki for

B_{n}

. For

C_{n}

, we derive the explicit tableau rule for skew diagrams

l a m b d a / m u

of three rows and of two columns, and give the implicit tableau rule in terms of paths for general

l a m b d a / m u

.
