Closed Colored Models and Demazure Crystals
Yingzi Yang
TL;DR
The paper constructs closed colored five-vertex lattice models whose partition functions realize Demazure characters, and embeds model states into Kashiwara-Nakashima crystals. It proves a state-level bijection between closed states with a fixed Gelfand–Tsetlin pattern and the corresponding Demazure crystal B_λ(y), extending known open-case results. The proof relies on two interrelated state-adjustment procedures, Bruhat-order arguments, and crystal-operator analysis of GT-patterns and recolorings. Together, these results provide a crystal-theoretic interpretation of closed-state spaces and deepen the link between solvable lattice models and representation theory.
Abstract
We will construct solvable lattice models whose partition functions are Demazure characters. We will construct a crystal structure on the states of the model and prove that the states of the closed model form a Demazure crystal.
