On the computation of the canonical basis for irreducible highest weight $U_q (\mathfrak{gl}_{\infty})$-module
Nicolas Jacon, Abel Lacabanne
TL;DR
This work advances the computation of canonical bases in higher-level Fock spaces for $U_q(\mathfrak{gl}_{\infty})$ by extending the Leclerc--Miyachi framework to arbitrary levels using symbol combinatorics. It introduces a column-removal principle and asymptotic factorization results that reduce complex basis elements to simpler blocks, and proves monomiality in several new regimes, including the $l=3$ case and various ordered/structured symbols. The developed techniques yield explicit, closed formulas for canonical basis elements and have direct implications for Calogero--Moser cellular characters and Ariki--Koike algebra decomposition matrices, linking representation theory to combinatorial and cellular structures. Overall, the paper broadens the practical computability of canonical bases in infinite-rank quantum groups and enriches the interplay between combinatorics, Calogero--Moser theory, and Hecke-algebra-type phenomena.
Abstract
We study canonical basis elements in higher-level Fock spaces associated with the quantum group $U_q(\mathfrak{gl}_\infty)$, which are conjecturally related to Calogero-Moser theory for complex reflection groups. We generalize the Leclerc-Miyachi formula to arbitrary levels by introducing new explicit constructions based on symbols, including a column removal theorem and closed formulas in several cases. These results provide explicit descriptions of canonical basis elements with applications to Calogero-Moser cellular characters and to the decomposition matrices of Ariki-Koike algebras.
