Abstract

We use Nakajima's geometric approach to representations of quantum affine algebras and recent results on explicit descriptions of specific canonical basis elements, to derive closed positive formulas for certain decomposition numbers of representations of quantum affine sl2\mathfrak{sl}_2. Moreover, we obtain a piecewise-linear closed formula for the qq-characters of irreducible representations of quantum affine sl2\mathfrak{sl}_2.
