Langlands duality for finite-dimensional representations of quantum affine algebras
We describe a correspondence (or duality) between the q-characters of
finite-dimensional representations of a quantum affine algebra and its
Langlands dual in the spirit of q-alg/9708006 and 0809.4453. We prove this
duality for the Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules and their irreducible tensor
products. In the course of the proof we introduce and construct "interpolating
(q,t)-characters" depending on two parameters which interpolate between the
q-characters of a quantum affine algebra and its Langlands dual.Comment: 40 pages; several results and comments added. Accepted for

Extended T-systems
We use the theory of q-characters to establish a number of short exact
sequences in the category of finite-dimensional representations of the quantum
affine groups of types A and B. That allows us to introduce a set of 3-term
recurrence relations which contains the celebrated T-system as a special case.Comment: 36 pages, latex; v2: version to appear in Selecta Mathematic
On minimal affinizations of representations of quantum groups
In this paper we study minimal affinizations of representations of quantum
groups (generalizations of Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules of quantum affine
algebras introduced by Chari). We prove that all minimal affinizations in types
A, B, G are special in the sense of monomials. Although this property is not
satisfied in general, we also prove an analog property for a large class of
minimal affinization in types C, D, F. As an application, the Frenkel-Mukhin
algorithm works for these modules. For minimal affinizations of type A, B we
prove the thin property (the l-weight spaces are of dimension 1) and a
conjecture of Nakai-Nakanishi (already known for type A). The proof of the
special property is extended uniformly for more general quantum affinizations
of quantum Kac-Moody algebras.Comment: 38 pages; references and additional results added. Accepted for

On multigraded generalizations of Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules
We study the category of Z^l-graded modules with finite-dimensional graded
pieces for certain Z+^l-graded Lie algebras. We also consider certain Serre
subcategories with finitely many isomorphism classes of simple objects. We
construct projective resolutions for the simple modules in these categories and
compute the Ext groups between simple modules. We show that the projective
covers of the simple modules in these Serre subcategories can be regarded as
multigraded generalizations of Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules and give a
recursive formula for computing their graded characters
Dorey's Rule and the q-Characters of Simply-Laced Quantum Affine Algebras
Let Uq(ghat) be the quantum affine algebra associated to a simply-laced
simple Lie algebra g. We examine the relationship between Dorey's rule, which
is a geometrical statement about Coxeter orbits of g-weights, and the structure
of q-characters of fundamental representations V_{i,a} of Uq(ghat). In
particular, we prove, without recourse to the ADE classification, that the rule
provides a necessary and sufficient condition for the monomial 1 to appear in
the q-character of a three-fold tensor product V_{i,a} x V_{j,b} x V_{k,c}.Comment: 30 pages, latex; v2, to appear in Communications in Mathematical

Universal integrability objects
We discuss the main points of the quantum group approach in the theory of
quantum integrable systems and illustrate them for the case of the quantum
group . We give a complete set of the
functional relations correcting inexactitudes of the previous considerations. A
special attention is given to the connection of the representations used to
construct the universal transfer operators and -operators.Comment: 21 pages, submitted to the Proceedings of the International Workshop

T-systems and Y-systems in integrable systems
The T and Y-systems are ubiquitous structures in classical and quantum
integrable systems. They are difference equations having a variety of aspects
related to commuting transfer matrices in solvable lattice models, q-characters
of Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules of quantum affine algebras, cluster algebras
with coefficients, periodicity conjectures of Zamolodchikov and others,
dilogarithm identities in conformal field theory, difference analogue of
L-operators in KP hierarchy, Stokes phenomena in 1d Schr\"odinger problem,
AdS/CFT correspondence, Toda field equations on discrete space-time, Laplace
sequence in discrete geometry, Fermionic character formulas and combinatorial
completeness of Bethe ansatz, Q-system and ideal gas with exclusion statistics,
analytic and thermodynamic Bethe ans\"atze, quantum transfer matrix method and
so forth. This review article is a collection of short reviews on these topics
which can be read more or less independently.Comment: 156 pages. Minor corrections including the last paragraph of sec.3.5,
eqs.(4.1), (5.28), (9.37) and (13.54). The published version (JPA topical
review) also needs these correction
Prime representations from a homological perspective
We explore the relation between self extensions of simple representations of quantum affine algebras and the property of a simple representation being prime. We show that every nontrivial simple representation has a nontrivial self extension. Conversely, we prove that if a simple representation has a unique nontrivial self extension up to isomorphism, then its Drinfeld polynomial is a power of the Drinfeld polynomial of a prime representation. It turns out that, in the sl 2 -case, a simple module is prime if and only if it has a unique nontrivial self extension up to isomorphism. It is tempting to conjecture that this is true in general and we present a large class of prime representations satisfying this homological propertyPeer reviewedFinal Accepted Versio
