Quantum groups (quantized enveloping algebras) and related deformations (17B37) Bialgebras (16T10)

Abstract: The quantum co-ordinate algebra

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

associated to a Kac-Moody Lie algebra

m a t h f r a k g

forms a Hopf algebra whose comodules are precisely the

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

modules in the BGG category

m a t h c a l O_{m a t h f r a k g}

. In this paper we investigate whether an analogous result is true when

q = 0

. We classify crystal bases as coalgebras over a comonadic functor on the category of pointed sets and encode the monoidal structure of crystals into a bicomonadic structure. In doing this we prove that there is no coalgebra in the category of pointed sets whose comodules are equivalent to crystal bases. We then construct a bialgebra over

m a t h b b Z

whose based comodules are equivalent to crystals, which we conjecture is linked to Lusztig's quantum group at

v = i n f t y

.
