We present n-1 different embeddings of string polytopes of type A. We characterize their compatibility with the crystal structure on the string polytopes, and formulate a conjecture describing how to obtain n-1 different atomic…

For coherent families of crystals of affine Lie algebras of type B^{(1)}_n, D^{(1)}_n, A^{(2)}_{2n} and D^{(2)}_{n+1} we describe the combinatorial R matrix using column insertion algorithms for B,C,D Young tableaux.

We give a crystal structure on the set of all irreducible components of Lagrangian subvarieties of quiver varieties. One con show that, as a crystal, it is isomorphic to the crystal base of an irreducible highest weight representation of a…

We realize the crystal associated to the quantized enveloping algebras with a symmetric generalized Cartan matrix as a set of Lagrangian subvarieties of the cotangent bundle of the quiver variety. As a by-product, we give a counterexample…

Sunada's work on crystallography emphasizes the role of the "maximal abelian cover" of a graph $X$. This is a covering space of $X$ for which the group of deck transformations is the first homology group $H_1(X,\mathbb{Z})$. An embedding of…

k-graphs are higher-rank analogues of directed graphs which were first developed to provide combinatorial models for operator algebras of Cuntz-Krieger type. Here we develop the theory of covering spaces for k-graphs, obtaining a…

Let $\mathfrak g$ be an affine Lie algebra with index set $I = \{0, 1, 2, \cdots , n\}$ and ${\mathfrak g}^L$ be its Langlands dual. It is conjectured by Kashiwara et al.([16]) that for each $k \in I \setminus \{0\}$ the affine Lie algebra…

Crystallographic tilings of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^n$ are defined as simple tilings whose group of isometric automorphisms is crystallographic. To classify crystallographic tilings by their automorphism groups it is necessary to…

Crystals are paradigms of ordered structures. While order was once seen as synonymous with lattice periodic arrangements, the discoveries of incommensurate crystals and quasicrystals led to a more general perception of crystalline order,…

Let $G$ be a simple graph on $d$ vertices. We define a monomial ideal $K$ in the Stanley-Reisner ring $A$ of the order complex of the Boolean algebra on $d$ atoms. The monomials in $K$ are in one-to-one correspondence with the proper…

We construct a crystal base of $U_q(\mathfrak{gl}(m|n))^-$, the negative half of the quantum superalgebra $U_q(\mathfrak{gl}(m|n))$. We give a combinatorial description of the associated crystal $\mathscr{B}_{m|n}(\infty)$, which is equal…

We develop a crystal base theory for the general linear Lie superalgebra $gl(m,n)$. We prove that any irreducible $U_q(gl(m,n))$-module in some category has a crystal base, and prove that its associated crystal base is parameterized by…

Kashiwara and Saito have defined a crystal structure on the set of irreducible components of Lusztig's quiver varieties. This gives a geometric realization of the crystal graph of the lower half of the quantum group associated to a…

Uniform Lie algebras are combinatorially defined two-step nilpotent Lie algebras which can be used to define Einstein solvmanifolds. These Einstein spaces often have nontrivial isotropy groups. We derive basic properties of uniform Lie…

Rigged configurations are combinatorial objects originating from the Bethe Ansatz, that label highest weight crystal elements. In this paper a new unrestricted set of rigged configurations is introduced for types ADE by constructing a…

The Lascoux-Leclerc-Thibon-Ariki theory asserts that the K-group of the representations of the affine Hecke algebras of type A is isomorphic to the algebra of functions on the maximal unipotent subgroup of the group associated with a Lie…

A typical crystal is a finite piece of a material which may be invariant under some point symmetry group. If it is a so-called intrinsic higher-order topological insulator or superconductor, then it displays boundary modes at hinges or…

A covering of k-graphs (in the sense of Pask-Quigg-Raeburn) induces an embedding of universal C*-algebras. We show how to build a (k+1)-graph whose universal algebra encodes this embedding. More generally we show how to realise a direct…

The tableau model for Kirillov-Reshetikhin (KR) crystals, which are finite dimensional crystals corresponding to certain affine Lie algebras, is commonly used for its ease of crystal operator calculations. However, its simplicity makes…

Let $\mathbf{A} = (A_1,\ldots, A_q)$ be a $q$-tuple of finite sets of integers. Associated to every $q$-tuple of nonnegative integers $\mathbf{h} = (h_1,\ldots, h_q)$ is the linear form $\mathbf{h}\cdot \mathbf{A} = h_1 A_1 + \cdots +…
