30 Abstract Crystals 4.Abstract Crystals Definition Abstract Crystals A set B with the maps wt: B P, ẽ i, f i : B B {0} and ε i, ϕ i : B Z { } (i I ) where i) wt(ẽ i b) = wt b + α i if i I and ẽ i b 0, ii) wt( f i b) = wt b α i if i I and f i b 0, iii) i I and b B, ϕ i (b) = ε i (b) + h i, wt b, iv) i I and b, b B, f i b = b b = ẽ i b, Notation wt i (b) = h i, wt b for i I and b B

31 Abstract Crystals Definition Abstract Crystals v) i I and b B s.t. ẽ i b 0, we have ε i (ẽ i b) = ε i (b) 1, ϕ i (ẽ i b) = ϕ i (b) + 1 if i I re, ε i (ẽ i b) = ε i (b) and ϕ i (ẽ i b) = ϕ i (b) + a ii if i I im, vi) i I and b B s.t. f i b 0, we have ε i ( f i b) = ε i (b) + 1 and ϕ i ( f i b) = ϕ i (b) 1 if i I re, ε i ( f i b) = ε i (b) and ϕ i ( f i b) = ϕ i (b) a ii if i I im, vii) i I and b B s.t. ϕ i (b) =, we have ẽ i b = f i b = 0.

32 Abstract Crystals Definition Morphism of Crystals Let B 1 and B 2 be crystals. A morphism of crystals ψ : B 1 B 2 is a map ψ : B 1 B 2 s.t. i) for b B 1 we have wt(ψ(b)) = wt(b) and ε i (ψ(b)) = ε i (b), ϕ i (ψ(b)) = ϕ i (b) for all i I ii) if b B 1 and i I satisfy f i b B 1, then ψ( f i b) = f i ψ(b)

33 Abstract Crystals Definition Morphism of Crystals Let ψ : B 1 B 2 be a morphism of crystals i) ψ is called a strict morphism if ψ(ẽ i b) = ẽ i ψ(b), ψ( f i b) = f i ψ(b) for all i I and b B 1 where ψ(0) = 0 ii) ψ is called an embedding if the underlying map ψ : B 1 B 2 is injective. we say that B 1 is a subcrystal of B 2. If ψ is a strict embedding, we say that B 1 is a full subcrystal of B 2.

36 Abstract Crystals Definition Tensor Product of Crystals Let B 1 B2 = {b 1 b2 b 1 B 1, b 2 B 2 }, and define the maps wt, ε i, ϕ i as follows. wt(b b ) = wt(b) + wt(b ), ε i (b b ) = max(ε i (b), ε i (b ) wt i (b)), ϕ i (b b ) = max(ϕ i (b) + wt i (b ), ϕ i (b )). For i I, we define f i (b b ) = f i b b if ϕ i (b) > ε i (b ), b f i b if ϕ i (b) ε i (b ),

37 Abstract Crystals Definition Tensor Product of Crystals For i I re, we define ẽ i (b b ) = ẽ i b b if ϕ i (b) ε i (b ), b ẽ i b if ϕ i (b) < ε i (b ), and, for i I im, we define ẽ i b b if ϕ i (b) > ε i (b ) a ii, ẽ i (b b ) = 0 if ε i (b ) < ϕ i (b) ε i (b ) a ii, b ẽ i b if ϕ i (b) ε i (b ).
