In this note, a statistic on Young tableaux is defined which encodes data needed for the Casselman-Shalika formula.Comment: 6 page

A rigged configuration model for B(∞)B(\infty)

We describe a combinatorial realization of the crystals $B(\infty)$ and $B(\lambda)$ using rigged configurations in all symmetrizable Kac-Moody types up to certain conditions. This includes all simply-laced types and all non-simply-laced finite and affine types

Connecting marginally large tableaux and rigged configurations via crystals

We show that the bijection from rigged configurations to tensor products of Kirillov-Reshetikhin crystals extends to a crystal isomorphism between the $B(\infty)$ models given by rigged configurations and marginally large tableaux.Comment: 22 pages, 3 figure

Young tableaux, canonical bases and the Gindikin-Karpelevich formula

A combinatorial description of the crystal B(infinity) for finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras in terms of certain Young tableaux was developed by J. Hong and H. Lee. We establish an explicit bijection between these Young tableaux and canonical bases indexed by Lusztig's parametrization, and obtain a combinatorial rule for expressing the Gindikin-Karpelevich formula as a sum over the set of Young tableaux.Comment: 19 page

Combinatorial descriptions of the crystal structure on certain PBW bases (extended abstract)

Lusztig's theory of PBW bases gives a way to realize the infinity crystal for any simple complex Lie algebra where the underlying set consists of Kostant partitions. In fact, there are many different such realizations, one for each reduced expression for the longest element of the Weyl group. There is an algorithm to calculate the actions of the crystal operators, but it can be quite complicated. For ADE types, we give conditions on the reduced expression which ensure that the corresponding crystal operators are given by simple combinatorial bracketing rules. We then give at least one reduced expression satisfying our conditions in every type except $E_8$, and discuss the resulting combinatorics. Finally, we describe the relationship with more standard tableaux combinatorics in types A and D.Comment: Extended abstract to appear in proceedings for FPSAC 201
