Abstract

According to the Ringel-Green Theorem([G],[R1]), the generic composition algebra of the Hall algebra provides a realization of the positive part of the quantum group. Furthermore, its Drinfeld double can be identified with the whole quantum group([X],[XY]), in which the BGP-reflection functors coincide with Lusztig's symmetries. We first assert the elements corresponding to exceptional modules lie in the integral generic composition algebra, hence in the integral form of the quantum group. Then we prove that these elements lie in the crystal basis up to a sign. Eventually we show that the sign can be removed by the geometric method. Our results hold for any type of Cartan datum.
