A combinatorial model for q-characters of fundamental modules of type D_{n}

Abstract: In this paper, we introduce a combinatorial path model of representation of the quantum affine algebra of type

D_{n}

, inspired by Mukhin and Young's combinatorial path models of representations of the quantum affine algebras of types

A_{n}

and

B_{n}

. In particular, we give a combinatorial formula for

q

-characters of fundamental modules of type

D_{n}

by assigning each path to a monomial or binomial. By counting our paths, a new expression on dimensions of fundamental modules of type

D_{n}

is obtained.
