Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules of generalized quantum group of type $A$

The generalized quantum group of type $A$ is an affine analogue of quantum group associated to a general linear Lie superalgebra, which appears in the study of solutions to the tetrahedron equation or the three-dimensional Yang-Baxter equation. In this paper, we develop the crystal base theory for finite-dimensional representations of generalized quantum group of type $A$. As a main result, we construct Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules, that is, a family of irreducible modules which have crystal bases. We also give an explicit combinatorial description of the crystal structure of Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules, the combinatorial $R$ matrix, and energy function on their tensor products.
