We provide a categorification of $\mathfrak{q}(2)$-crystals on the singular $\mathfrak{gl}_{n}$-category ${\mathcal O}_{n}$. Our result extends the $\mathfrak{gl}_{2}$-crystal structure on ${\rm Irr} ({\mathcal O}_{n})$ defined by…

Crystal graphs are powerful combinatorial tools for working with the plactic monoid and symmetric functions. Quasi-crystal graphs are an analogous concept for the hypoplactic monoid and quasi-symmetric functions. This paper makes a…

Using crystal basis, in the space of symmetric irreducible representations, we explicitly write invertible deforming functionals between the q-deformed universal enveloping algebra and the Lie algebras sl(n) and sp(2n).For sl(2) we obtain…

In this paper, we give a realization of crystal bases for quantum affine algebras using some new combinatorial objects which we call the Young walls. The Young walls consist of colored blocks with various shapes that are built on the given…

A new class of self-similar ordered structures with non-crystallographic point symmetries is presented. Each of these structures, named superquasicrystals, is given as a section of a higher-dimensional "crystal" with recursive superlattice…

Crystal base of the level 0 part of the modified quantum affine algebra $\widetilde U_q(\widehat{sl_2})_0$ is given by path. Weyl group actions, extremal vectors and crystal structure of all irreducible components are described explicitly.

The normal covering number $\gamma(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the minimum number of proper subgroups whose conjugates cover the group. We give various estimates for $\gamma(S_n)$ and $\gamma(A_n)$ depending on the arithmetic structure of…

In this paper, we consider polyhedral realizations for crystal bases $B(\lambda)$ of irreducible integrable highest weight modules of a quantized enveloping algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{g})$, where $\mathfrak{g}$ is a classical affine Lie algebra…

We construct a combinatorial crystal structure on the Kirillov-Reshetikhin crystal $B^{7,s}$ in type $E_7^{(1)}$, where $7$ is the unique node in the orbit of $0$ in the affine Dynkin diagram. We then describe the combinatorial $R$-matrix…

Let (W, S) be a Coxeter system. A W-graph is an encoding of a representation of the corresponding Iwahori-Hecke algebra. Especially important examples include the W-graph corresponding to the action of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra on the…

Crystallization is a fundamental process in materials science, providing the primary route for the realization of a wide range of new materials. Crystallization rates are also considered to be useful probes of glass-forming ability. At the…

We continue work begun in \cite{ptab} which introduced \emph{perforated tableaux} as a combinatorial model for crystals of type $A_{n-1}$, emphasizing connections to the classical Robinson-Schensted-Knuth (RSK) correspondence and Lusztig…

We give an expression of the $q$-analogues of the multiplicities of weights in irreducible $\sl_{n+1}$-modules in terms of the geometry of the crystal graph attached to the corresponding $U_q(\sl_{n+1})$-modules. As an application, we…

Finding an optimal match between two different crystal structures underpins many important materials science problems, including describing solid-solid phase transitions, developing models for interface and grain boundary structures. In…

We introduce ``virtual'' crystals of the affine types $g=D_{n+1}^{(2)}$, $A_{2n}^{(2)}$ and $C_n^{(1)}$ by naturally extending embeddings of crystals of types $B_n$ and $C_n$ into crystals of type $A_{2n-1}$. Conjecturally, these virtual…

We give a new realization of arbitrary level perfect crystals and arbitrary level irreducible highest weight crystals of type $D_n^{(1)}$, in the language of Young walls. The notions of splitting of blocks and slices play crucial roles in…

How, in principle, could one solve the atomic structure of a quasicrystal, modeled as a random tiling decorated by atoms, and what techniques are available to do it? One path is to solve the phase problem first, obtaining the density in a…
