Abstract

We define new crystal maps on B()B(\infty) using its polyhedral realization, and show that the crystal B()B(\infty) equipped with the new crystal maps is isomorphic to Kashiwara's B()B(\infty) as bicrystals. In addition, we combinatorially describe the bicrystal structure of B()B(\infty), which is called a sliding diamond rule. Using the bicrystal structure on B()B(\infty), we define the extended crystal and show that it is isomorphic to the extended crystal introduced by Kashiwara and Park.
