Abstract

Let Uq(g)U_q'(\mathfrak{g}) be a quantum affine algebra of untwisted affine ADEADE type, and Cg0\mathcal{C}_{\mathfrak{g}}^0 the Hernandez-Leclerc category of finite-dimensional Uq(g)U_q'(\mathfrak{g})-modules. For a suitable infinite sequence w^0=si1si0si1\widehat{w}_0= \cdots s_{i_{-1}}s_{i_0}s_{i_1} \cdots of simple reflections, we introduce subcategories Cg[a,b]\mathcal{C}_{\mathfrak{g}}^{[a,b]} of Cg0\mathcal{C}_{\mathfrak{g}}^0 for all abZ{±}a \le b \in \mathbb{Z}\sqcup\{ \pm \infty \}. Associated with a certain chain C\mathfrak{C} of intervals in [a,b][a,b], we construct a real simple commuting family M(C)M(\mathfrak{C}) in Cg[a,b]\mathcal{C}_{\mathfrak{g}}^{[a,b]}, which consists of Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules. The category Cg[a,b]\mathcal{C}_{\mathfrak{g}}^{[a,b]} provides a monoidal categorification of the cluster algebra K(Cg[a,b])K(\mathcal{C}_{\mathfrak{g}}^{[a,b]}), whose set of initial cluster variables is [M(C)][M(\mathfrak{C})]. In particular, this result gives an affirmative answer to the monoidal categorification conjecture on Cg\mathcal{C}_{\mathfrak{g}}^- by Hernandez-Leclerc since it is Cg[,0]\mathcal{C}_{\mathfrak{g}}^{[-\infty,0]}, and is also applicable to Cg0\mathcal{C}_{\mathfrak{g}}^0 since it is Cg[,]\mathcal{C}_{\mathfrak{g}}^{[-\infty,\infty]}.
