Abstract

We prove that the multiplicities of certain maximal weights of g(An(1))\mathfrak{g}(A^{(1)}_{n})-modules are counted by pattern avoidance on words. This proves and generalizes a conjecture of Misra-Rebecca. We also prove similar phenomena in types A2n(2)A^{(2)}_{2n} and Dn+1(2)D^{(2)}_{n+1}. Both proofs are applications of Kashiwara's crystal theory.
