We investigate the most general phase space of configurations, consisting of all possible ways of assigning elementary attributes, ``energies'', to elementary positions, ``cells''. We discuss how this space possesses structures that can be…
For a reduced word ${\bf i}$ of the longest element in the Weyl group of $\mathrm{SL}_{n+1}(\mathbb{C})$, one can associate the string cone $C_{\bf i}$ which parametrizes the dual canonical bases. In this paper, we classify all ${\bf i}$'s…
The combinatorics of i-boxes has recently been introduced by Kashiwara--Kim--Oh--Park in the study of cluster algebras arising from the representation theory of quantum affine algebras. In this article, we associate to each chain of i-boxes…
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…
The canonical description is presented for the string with pointlike masses at the ends in 1+1 dimensions in two different gauges: in the proper time gauge and in the light cone one. The classical canonical transformation is written out…
A combinatorial description of the crystal $\mathcal{B}(\infty)$ for finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras in terms of Young tableaux was developed by J. Hong and H. Lee. Using this description, we obtain a combinatorial rule for…
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…
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…
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…
We give a survey of a number of simple applications of renewal theory to problems on random strings and tries: insertion depth, size, insertion mode and imbalance of tries; variations for b-tries and Patricia tries; Khodak and Tunstall…
By using the Kang-Kashiwara-Misra-Miwa-Nakashima-Nakayashiki crystal base character formula for the basic $A_2^{(1)}$-module, and the principally specialized Weyl-Kac character formula, we obtain a Rogers-Ramanujan type combinatorial…
We construct atomic decompositions for crystals of type $C_{2}$ and define a charge statistic on them, thus providing positive combinatorial formulas for Kostka-Foulkes polynomials associated to them together with a natural geometric…
We establish a geometric construction of Kashiwara crystals on the irreducible components of the varieties of multiparameter persistence modules. Our approach differs from the seminal work of Kashiwara and Saito, as well as subsequent…
We investigate combinatorial properties of a kind of insets we defined in an earlier paper, interpreting them now in terms of restricted ternary words. This allows us to give new combinatorial interpretations of a number of known integer…
We argue that string theory should have a formulation for which stability and causality are evident. Rather than regard strings as fundamental objects, we suggest they should be regarded as composite systems of more fundamental point-like…
Cosmic strings provide a radically different paradigm for the formation of structure to the prevailing inflationary one. They afford some extra technical complications: for example, the calculation of the power spectrum of matter and…
We argue that the behavior of string theory at high temperature and high longitudinal boosts, combined with the emergence of p-branes as necessary ingredients in various string dualities, point to a possible reformulation of strings, as…
We compute the expansion of the cohomology class of the permutahedral variety in the basis of Schubert classes. The resulting structure constants $a_w$ are expressed as a sum of \emph{normalized} mixed Eulerian numbers indexed naturally by…
We explicit Ozawa kernels for classical group theoretical constructions, for discrete metric spaces of finite asymptotic dimension, of large enough Hilbert space compression, and for suitable actions of countable groups on metric spaces. We…
Following Kashiwara's algebraic approach in one-parameter case, we construct crystal bases for two-parameter quantum algebras and for their integrable modules. We also show that the global crystal basis coincides with the canonical basis…
