Multiplication Formulas and Canonical Bases for Quantum Affine gln

Abstract

AbstractWe will give a representation-theoretic proof for the multiplication formula in the Ringel-Hall algebra of a cyclic quiver Δ(n). As a first application, we see immediately the existence of Hall polynomials for cyclic quivers, a fact established by J. Y. Guo and C. M. Ringel, and derive a recursive formula to compute them. We will further use the formula and the construction of a monomial basis for given by Deng, Du, and Xiao together with the double Ringel-Hall algebra realisation of the quantum loop algebra given by Deng, Du, and Fu to develop some algorithms and to compute the canonical basis for . As examples, we will show explicitly the part of the canonical basis associated with modules of Lowey length at most 2 for the quantum group .
