Quiver varieties and tensor products
In this article, we give geometric constructions of tensor products in
various categories using quiver varieties. More precisely, we introduce a
lagrangian subvariety \Zl in a quiver variety, and show the following
results:
(1) The homology group of \Zl is a representation of a symmetric Kac-Moody
Lie algebra , isomorphic to the tensor product
of integrable highest weight
modules.
(2) The set of irreducible components of \Zl has a structure of a crystal,
isomorphic to that of the -analogue of .
(3) The equivariant -homology group of \Zl is isomorphic to the tensor
product of universal standard modules of the quantum loop algebra \Ul, when
is of type .
We also give a purely combinatorial description of the crystal of (2). This
result is new even when N=1.Comment: 39 pages, no figures; Several references are adde
