A Combinatorial Model for Crystals of Kac-moody Algebras
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a simple combinatorial model for the characters of the irreducible integrable highest weight modules for complex symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebras. This model can be viewed as a discrete counterpart to the Littelmann path model. We describe crystal graphs and give a LittlewoodRichardson rule for decomposing tensor products of irreducible representations. The new model is based on the notion of a λ-chain, which is a chain of positive roots defined by certain interlacing conditions.

Polyhedral Realization of the Highest Weight Crystals for Generalized Kac-moody Algebras
In this paper, we give a polyhedral realization of the highest weight crystals B(λ) associated with the highest weight modules V (λ) for the generalized Kac-Moody algebras. As applications, we give explicit descriptions of crystals for the generalized Kac-Moody algebras of ranks 2, 3, and Monster algebras.

متن کاملFull Heaps and Representations of Affine Kac–moody Algebras
We give a combinatorial construction, not involving a presentation, of almost all untwisted affine Kac–Moody algebras modulo their onedimensional centres in terms of signed raising and lowering operators on a certain distributive lattice B. The lattice B is constructed combinatorially as a set of ideals of a “full heap” over the Dynkin diagram, which leads to a kind of categorification of the p...
متن کاملChopped and Sliced Cones and Representations of Kac-moody Algebras
We introduce the notion of a chopped and sliced cone in combinatorial geometry and prove two structure theorems for the number of integral points in the individual slices of such a cone. We observe that this notion applies to weight multiplicities of Kac-Moody algebras and Littlewood-Richardson coefficients of semisimple Lie algebras, where we obtain the corresponding results.
