Abstract: We study the family of irreducible modules for quantum affine liesln+1 whose Drinfeld polynomials are supported on just one node of the Dynkin diagram. We identify all the prime modules in this family and prove a unique factorization theorem. The Drinfeld polynomials of the prime modules encode information coming from the points of reducibility of tensor products of the fundamental modules associated to Am with mlen. These prime modules are a special class of the snake modules studied by Mukhin and Young. We relate our modules to the work of Hernandez and Leclerc and define generalizations of the category mathscrC−. This leads naturally to the notion of an inflation of the corresponding Grothendieck ring. In the last section we show that the tensor product of a (higher order) Kirillov--Reshetikhin module with its dual always contains an imaginary module in its Jordan--Holder series and give an explicit formula for its Drinfeld polynomial. Together with the results of cite{HL13a} this gives examples of a product of cluster variables which are not in the span of cluster monomials. We also discuss the connection of our work with the examples arising from the work of cite{LM18}. Finally, we use our methods to give a family of imaginary modules in type D4 which do not arise from an embedding of Ar with rle3 in D4.


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.
