Triangular Decomposition of the Crystal Lattice of Quantized Function Algebras: Revisited

Ayan Dey

Abstract

Let $\g$ be a simple complex Lie algebra of type $G_2$, $F_4$, or $E_8$, and let $G$ be the unique connected simply connected Lie group with $\mathrm{Lie}(G)=\g$ with compact real form $K$. We prove a triangular decomposition theorem for the lower crystal lattice $\OAztG$ of the quantized function algebra $\OtG$, establishing that $\OAztG = \RAzm \cdot \RAzp$. This extends the triangular decomposition recently obtained for types $A_n, B_n, C_n, D_n, E_6$, and $E_7$ in~\cite{DDPa} to all complex simple Lie algebras. As a consequence, we obtain: (i) the inclusion $\OAztG\subseteq\OAztK$ conjectured by Matassa-Yuncken and (ii) the crystal limit $\CpKo$ is a compact quantum semigroup for all connected, simply connected, compact simple Lie groups $K$.

Key Result

Lemma 3.1

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a complex semi-simple Lie algebra and $\varpi_i$ be a fundamental weight. Assume that $V(\varpi_i)$ appears as a direct summand of $V(\varpi_i)\otimes V(\varpi_i)$ into irreducibles. Let $x = b_{\varpi_i}\otimes c$ be a highest weight node of weight $\varpi_i$ in the tensor pro

Figures (2)

  • Figure 1: The crystal graph $B(\varpi_1)$ for $G_2$. Blue arrows are $\tilde{f}_1$-edges, red arrows are $\tilde{f}_2$-edges. The weight-zero node is $b_4$. (See Proposition 2.1, KM94)
  • Figure 2: The subcrystal $\mathcal{C}\cong B(\varpi_1)$ inside $B(\varpi_1)\otimes B(\varpi_1)$ for $G_2$. The yellow node $x_4=b_2\otimes b_6$ is the unique weight-zero node; its left factor $b_2$ has weight $\varpi_1-\alpha_1>0$ and its right factor $b_6$ has weight $-(\varpi_1-\alpha_1)<0$. The right tensor factor is $b_4$ (weight $0$) only at the top node $x_1$; from $x_2$ onward every right factor has strictly negative weight. Blue arrows are $\tilde{f}_1$-edges, red arrows are $\tilde{f}_2$-edges.
