Littelmann paths for the basic representation of an affine Lie algebra

Abstract: A highest-weight representation of an affine Lie algebraĝ can be modeled combinatorially in several ways, notably by the semi-infinite paths of the Kyoto school and by Littelmann's finite paths. In this paper, we unify these two models in the case of the basic representation of an untwisted affine algebra, provided the underlying finite-dimensional algebra g possesses a minuscule representation (i.e., g is of classical or E 6 , E 7 type).We apply our "coil model" to prove that the basic representation ofĝ, whe… Show more

“…For exceptional types, we list up all monomials. Most of them have been calculated already in the literature ( [14], [38], [24], [12], [36], [27], [37], [3]), but we have a few new examples in exceptional types. And our method works for arbitrary fundamental representations in principle, though we certainly need to use a computer with huge memory for the triple node of E (1) 8 .…”

“…These modules for the current algebra are obtained by taking the current algebra module generated by the extremal vectors in modules of positive level of affine Lie algebras. The dimension (and, actually, character) of these modules was computed in [18,19]. We use these results to prove that the Weyl modules are isomorphic to the Demazure modules in the level one representations of the affine Lie algebra of sl r+1 .…”
