Level 1 Perfect Crystals and Path Realizations of Basic Representations at q=0

We present a uniform construction of level 1 perfect crystals $\mathcal B$ for all affine Lie algebras. We also introduce the notion of a crystal algebra and give an explicit description of its multiplication. This allows us to determine the energy function on $\mathcal B \otimes \mathcal B$ completely and thereby give a path realization of the basic representations at $q=0$ in the homogeneous picture

Crystal bases for quantum affine algebras and Young walls

AbstractWe provide a unified approach to the Young wall description of crystal graphs for arbitrary level irreducible highest weight representations over classical quantum affine algebras. The crystal graph is realized as the affine crystal consisting of all reduced Young walls built on a ground-state wall

Young Wall Realization of Crystal Bases for Classical Lie Algebras

In this paper, we give a new realization of crystal bases for finite dimensional irreducible modules over classical Lie algebras. The basis vectors are parameterized by certain Young walls lying between highest weight and lowest weight vectors.Comment: 27page
