Spin Multipartitions

TL;DR
The paper advances spin representation theory by formulating a spin multipartition framework for the twisted affine algebra $A^{(2)}_{2n}$ and proving that the level-one spin Fock spaces $\mathcal{F}_i$ are modules over the quantum enveloping algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{g})$. It introduces an $h$-restricted spin multipartition algorithm that, via Kashiwara crystal theory and the Hopf structure of $U_q(\mathfrak{g})$, aims to string level-one partitions into genuine multipartitions, extending Ariki–Mathas style constructions to the spin setting. The Serre-relations analysis for $\Lambda=\Lambda_i$ verifies the $U_q(\mathfrak{g})$-module structure on the corresponding Fock spaces, including the intricate cases with $a_{jk}=-1$ and $-2$, thereby solidifying the connection between spin blocks, crystal combinatorics, and quantum groups. Overall, the work lays a principled pathway to label spin representations via spin multipartitions and to realize them as modules of a quantum affine algebra, with potential implications for categorification and modular representation theory of Hecke algebras.``
Abstract
We conjecture an algorithm to construct spin multipartitions and prove that all the level one Fock spaces using our combinatorics are modules over the quantum enveloping algebra.
