Characters of quantum loop algebras

Abstract

The q-characters of quantum loop algebras are very important objects in representation theory. In [20], we showed that q-characters factor as a power series of the form studied in [9] times a character, an important phenomenon which had already been known in finite types. In the present paper, we prove a conjectural formula for the aforementioned character factor.
