The Kashiwara $B(\infty)$ crystal pertains to a Verma module for a Kac- Moody Lie algebra. Ostensibly it provides only a parametrisation of the global/canonical basis for the latter. Yet it is much more having a rich combinatorial structure…
Let B(\infty) be the crystal corresponding to the nilpotent part of a quantized Kac-Moody algebra. We suggest a general way to represent B(\infty) as the set of integer solutions of a system of linear inequalities. As an application, we…
Let B be the crystal basis of the minus part of the quantized enveloping algebra of a semi-simple Lie algebra. Kashiwara has shown that B has a combinatorial description in terms of an embedding of B into the tensor product of B and k…
For each reductive algebraic group G we introduce and study unipotent bicrystals which serve as a regular version of birational geometric and unipotent crystals introduced earlier by the authors. The framework of unipotent bicrystals…
The crystals for finite dimensional representations of sl(n+1) can be realized using Young tableaux. The infinity crystal on the other hand is naturally realized using multisegments, and there is a simple description of the embedding of…
In this paper, we give a unified construction of two-parameter quantum groups $U_{r,s}(\mathfrak{g})$, two-parameter Kashiwara algebras $B_{r,s}(\mathfrak{g})$, two-parameter quantized Weyl algebras $W_{r,s}(\mathfrak{g})$ and the action of…
We study the crystal base $\mathsf{B}(\infty)$ associated with the negative part of the quantum group for finite simple Lie algebras of types $E_6$ and $E_7$. We present an explicit description of $\mathsf{B}(\infty)$ as the image of a…
The vertices of any (combinatorial) Kashiwara crystal graph carry a natural monoid structure given by identifying words labelling vertices that appear in the same position of isomorphic components of the crystal. Working on a purely…
We give a criterion for the Demazure crystal $B_w(\lambda)$ defined by Kashiwara to have a tensor product structure. We study the $\sln$ symmetric tensor case, and see some Demazure characters are expressed using Kostka-Foulkes polynomials.
The Key map is an important tool in the determination of the Demazure crystals associated to Kac-Moody algebras. In finite type A, it can be computed in the tableau realization of crystals by a simple combinatorial procedure due to Lascoux…
Brane tilings, sometimes called dimer models, are a class of bipartite graphs on a torus which encode the gauge theory data of four-dimensional SCFTs dual to D3-branes probing toric Calabi--Yau threefolds. An efficient way of encoding this…
In this note we collect some significant contributions on metric invariants for complex Banach algebras and Jordan--Banach algebras established during the last fifteen years. This note is mainly expository, but it also contains complete…
Let g = n^- + h + n^+ be a symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebra. Let B(\infty) be the Kashiwara crystal of U_q(n^-), let \lambda be a dominant integral weight, let T_\lambda = {t_\lambda} be the crystal with one element of weight \lambda, and…
Following Britz, Johnsen, Mayhew and Shiromoto, we consider demi\-ma\-troids as a(nother) natural generalization of matroids. As they have shown, demi\-ma\-troids are the appropriate combinatorial objects for studying Wei's duality. Our…
Towards the study of the Kashiwara B(infinity) crystal, sets H^t of functions were introduced given by equivalence classes of unordered partitions satisfying certain boundary conditions. Here it is shown that H^t is a Catalan set of order…
We explicitly describe the isomorphism between two combinatorial realizations of Kashiwara's infinity crystal in types B and C. The first realization is in terms of marginally large tableaux and the other is in terms of Kostant partitions…
The main result of the paper is motivated by the following two, apparently unrelated graph optimization problems: (A) as an extension of Edmonds' disjoint branchings theorem, characterize digraphs comprising $k$ disjoint branchings $B_i$…
Consider Kashiwara's crystal associated to a highest weight representation of a symmetric Kac-Moody algebra. There is a geometric realization of this object using Nakajima's quiver varieties, but in many particular cases it can also be…
For any simple complex algebraic group, we define upper/lower half-decorated geometric crystals and show that their tropicalization will be upper/lower normal Kashiwara's crystals. In particular, we show that the tropicalization of the…
The aim of this paper is two fold: First to study finite groups $G$ of automorphisms of the homogenized Weyl algebra $B_{n}$, the skew group algebra $B_{n}\ast G$, the ring of invariants $B_{n}^{G}$, and the relations of these algebras with…
