The Kyoto path model for an affine highest weight crystal.

Note

Here we are using anti-Kashiwara notation and might differ from some of the literature.

Consider a Kac–Moody algebra \(\mathfrak{g}\) of affine Cartan type \(X\), and we want to model the \(U_q'(\mathfrak{g})\)-crystal \(B(\lambda)\). First we consider the set of fundamental weights \(\{\Lambda_i\}_{i \in I}\) of \(\mathfrak{g}\) and let \(\{\overline{\Lambda}_i\}_{i \in I_0}\) be the corresponding fundamental weights of the corresponding classical Lie algebra \(\mathfrak{g}_0\). To model \(B(\lambda)\), we start with a sequence of perfect \(U_q'(\mathfrak{g})\)-crystals \((B^{(i)})_i\) of level \(l\) such that

\[\lambda \in \overline{P}_l^+ = \left\{ \mu \in \overline{P}^+ \mid \langle c, \mu \rangle = l \right\}\]

where \(c\) is the canonical central element of \(U_q'(\mathfrak{g})\) and \(\overline{P}^+\) is the nonnegative weight lattice spanned by \(\{ \overline{\Lambda}_i \mid i \in I \}\).

Next we consider the crystal isomorphism \(\Phi_0 : B(\lambda_0) \to B^{(0)} \otimes B(\lambda_1)\) defined by \(u_{\lambda_0} \mapsto b^{(0)}_{\lambda_0} \otimes u_{\lambda_1}\) where \(b^{(0)}_{\lambda_0}\) is the unique element in \(B^{(0)}\) such that \(\varphi\left( b^{(0)}_{\lambda_0} \right) = \lambda_0\) and \(\lambda_1 = \varepsilon\left( b^{(0)}_{\lambda_0} \right)\) and \(u_{\mu}\) is the highest weight element in \(B(\mu)\). Iterating this, we obtain the following isomorphism:

\[\Phi_n : B(\lambda) \to B^{(0)} \otimes B^{(1)} \otimes \cdots \otimes B^{(N)} \otimes B(\lambda_{N+1}).\]

We note by Lemma 10.6.2 in [HK2002] that for any \(b \in B(\lambda)\) there exists a finite \(N\) such that

\[\Phi_N(b) = \left( \bigotimes_{k=0}^{N-1} b^{(k)} \right) \otimes u_{\lambda_N}.\]

Therefore we can model elements \(b \in B(\lambda)\) as a \(U_q'(\mathfrak{g})\)-crystal by considering an infinite list of elements \(b^{(k)} \in B^{(k)}\) and defining the crystal structure by:

\[\begin{split}\begin{aligned} \overline{\mathrm{wt}}(b) & = \lambda_N + \sum_{k=0}^{N-1} \overline{\mathrm{wt}}\left( b^{(k)} \right) \\ e_i(b) & = e_i\left( b^{\prime} \otimes b^{(N)} \right) \otimes u_{\lambda_N}, \\ f_i(b) & = f_i\left( b^{\prime} \otimes b^{(N)} \right) \otimes u_{\lambda_N}, \\ \varepsilon_i(b) & = \max\left( \varepsilon_i(b^{\prime}) - \varphi_i\left( b^{(N)} \right), 0 \right), \\ \varphi_i(b) & = \varphi_i(b^{\prime}) + \max\left( \varphi_i\left( b^{(N)} \right) - \varepsilon_i(b^{\prime}), 0 \right), \end{aligned}\end{split}\]

where \(b^{\prime} = b^{(0)} \otimes \cdots \otimes b^{(N-1)}\). To translate this into a finite list, we consider a finite sequence \(b^{(0)} \otimes \cdots \otimes b^{(N-1)} \otimes b^{(N)}_{\lambda_N}\) and if

\[f_i\left( b^{(0)} \otimes \cdots b^{(N-1)} \otimes b^{(N)}_{\lambda_N} \right) = b_0 \otimes \cdots \otimes b^{(N-1)} \otimes f_i\left( b^{(N)}_{\lambda_N} \right),\]

then we take the image as \(b^{(0)} \otimes \cdots \otimes f_i\left( b^{(N)}_{\lambda_N}\right) \otimes b^{(N+1)}_{\lambda_{N+1}}\). Similarly we remove \(b^{(N)}_{\lambda_{N}}\) if we have \(b_0 \otimes \cdots \otimes b^{(N-1)} \otimes b^{(N-1)}_{\lambda_{N-1}} \otimes b^{(N)}_{\lambda_N}\). Additionally if

\[e_i\left( b^{(0)} \otimes \cdots \otimes b^{(N-1)} \otimes b^{(N)}_{\lambda_N} \right) = b^{(0)} \otimes \cdots \otimes b^{(N-1)} \otimes e_i\left( b^{(N)}_{\lambda_N} \right),\]

then we consider this to be \(0\).

We can then lift the \(U_q'(\mathfrak{g})\)-crystal structure to a \(U_q(\mathfrak{g})\)-crystal structure by using a tensor product of the affinization of the of crystals \(B^{(i)}\) for all \(i\).

INPUT:

B – a single or list of \(U_q^{\prime}\) perfect crystal(s) of level \(l\)
weight – a weight in \(\overline{P}_l^+\)

EXAMPLES:

sage: B = crystals.KirillovReshetikhin(['A',2,1], 1,1)
sage: La = RootSystem(['A',2,1]).weight_lattice().fundamental_weights()
sage: C = crystals.KyotoPathModel(B, La[0])
sage: mg = C.module_generators[0]; mg
[[[3]]]
sage: mg.f_string([0,1,2,2])
[[[3]], [[3]], [[1]]]
sage: x = mg.f_string([0,1,2]); x
[[[2]], [[3]], [[1]]]
sage: x.weight()
Lambda[0]

An example of type \(A_5^{(2)}\):

sage: B = crystals.KirillovReshetikhin(['A',5,2], 1,1)
sage: La = RootSystem(['A',5,2]).weight_lattice().fundamental_weights()
sage: C = crystals.KyotoPathModel(B, La[0])
sage: mg = C.module_generators[0]; mg
[[[-1]]]
sage: mg.f_string([0,2,1,3])
[[[-3]], [[2]], [[-1]]]
sage: mg.f_string([0,2,3,1])
[[[-3]], [[2]], [[-1]]]

An example of type \(D_3^{(2)}\):

sage: B = crystals.KirillovReshetikhin(['D',3,2], 1,1)
sage: La = RootSystem(['D',3,2]).weight_lattice().fundamental_weights()
sage: C = crystals.KyotoPathModel(B, La[0])
sage: mg = C.module_generators[0]; mg
[[]]
sage: mg.f_string([0,1,2,0])
[[[0]], [[1]], []]

An example using multiple crystals of the same level:

sage: B1 = crystals.KirillovReshetikhin(['A',2,1], 1,1)
sage: B2 = crystals.KirillovReshetikhin(['A',2,1], 2,1)
sage: La = RootSystem(['A',2,1]).weight_lattice().fundamental_weights()
sage: C = crystals.KyotoPathModel([B1, B2, B1], La[0])
sage: mg = C.module_generators[0]; mg
[[[3]]]
sage: mg.f_string([0,1,2,2])
[[[3]], [[1], [3]], [[3]]]
sage: mg.f_string([0,1,2,2,2])
sage: mg.f_string([0,1,2,2,1,0])
[[[3]], [[2], [3]], [[1]], [[2]]]
sage: mg.f_string([0,1,2,2,1,0,0,2])
[[[3]], [[1], [2]], [[1]], [[3]], [[1], [3]]]

By using the extended weight lattice, the Kyoto path model lifts the perfect crystals to their affinizations:

sage: B = crystals.KirillovReshetikhin(['A',2,1], 1,1)
sage: P = RootSystem(['A',2,1]).weight_lattice(extended=True)
sage: La = P.fundamental_weights()
sage: C = crystals.KyotoPathModel(B, La[0])
sage: mg = C.module_generators[0]; mg
[[[3]](0)]
sage: x = mg.f_string([0,1,2]); x
[[[2]](-1), [[3]](0), [[1]](0)]
sage: x.weight()
Lambda[0] - delta
