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
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
Spectral Characters of Finite-Dimensional Representations of Affine Algebras
We introduce the notion of a spectral character for finite-dimensional
representations of affine algebras. These can be viewed as a suitable q=1 limit
of the elliptic characters defined by Etingof and Moura for quantum affine
algebras. We show that these characters determine blocks of the category of
finite-dimensional modules for affine algebras. To do this we use the Weyl
modules defined by Chari and Pressley and some indecomposable reducible
quotient of the Weyl modules.Comment: More concise proofs for Propositions 1.2 and 2.4 added. To appear in

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

Does rising inequality delay marriage? Evidence from India
Top incomes in India have been rising sharply since the 1980s. In this chapter, we show that this phenomenon may have resulted in delays to female marriage. Our analysis takes advantage of cross-sectional variation in earnings distribution across narrowly defined marriage markets. We find that female marriage rates decline in response to increases in top male incomes. We also find marked effects on women’s educational attainment (in terms of years of schooling, as well as high school and college completion rates). We examine a number of hypotheses, and conclude that the pattern of results suggests a mechanism in which increases in top male incomes prolong the duration of marital search on the part of women
Equivariant map superalgebras
Suppose a group acts on a scheme and a Lie superalgebra
. The corresponding equivariant map superalgebra is the Lie
superalgebra of equivariant regular maps from to . We
classify the irreducible finite dimensional modules for these superalgebras
under the assumptions that the coordinate ring of is finitely generated,
is finite abelian and acts freely on the rational points of , and
is a basic classical Lie superalgebra (or ,
, if is trivial). We show that they are all (tensor products
of) generalized evaluation modules and are parameterized by a certain set of
equivariant finitely supported maps defined on . Furthermore, in the case
that the even part of is semisimple, we show that all such
modules are in fact (tensor products of) evaluation modules. On the other hand,
if the even part of is not semisimple (more generally, if
is of type I), we introduce a natural generalization of Kac
modules and show that all irreducible finite dimensional modules are quotients
of these. As a special case, our results give the first classification of the
irreducible finite dimensional modules for twisted loop superalgebras.Comment: 27 pages. v2: Section numbering changed to match published version.
