Perfect Basis Theory for Quantum Borcherds-Bozec Algebras

Abstract

In this paper, we develop the perfect basis theory for quantum Borcherds-Bozec algebras $U_{q}(\mathfrak g)$ and their irreducible highest weight modules $V(\lambda)$. We show that the perfect graph (resp. dual perfect graph) of every perfect basis (resp. dual perfect basis) of $U_{q}^{-}(\mathfrak g)$ (resp. $V(\lambda)$) is isomorphic to $B(\infty)$ (resp. $B(\lambda)$). For this purpose, we define a new class of Kashiwara operators which is different from the one given by Bozec and prove all the interlocking inductive statements in Kashiwara's grand loop argument, which shows the existence and the uniqueness of crystal bases for quantum Borcherds-Bozec algebras
