Abstract

We give a Uq(sln)U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_n)-crystal structure on multiset-valued tableaux, hook-valued tableaux, and valued-set tableaux, whose generating functions are the weak symmetric, canonical, and dual weak symmetric Grothendieck functions, respectively. We show the result is isomorphic to a (generally infinite) direct sum of highest weight crystals, and for multiset-valued tableaux and valued-set tableaux, we provide an explicit bijection. As a consequence, these generating functions are Schur positive; in particular, the canonical Grothendieck functions, which was not previously known. We also give an extension of Hecke insertion to express a dual stable Grothendieck function as a sum of Schur functions.
