Sinopsis

"The introduction to crystal bases given in this book is accessible to graduate students and researchers. Its combinatorial approach is reader-friendly and invites the reader to get involved, either working on the exercises listed at the end of each chapter or by playing with the computational implementation on freely-available software, sage in this case, where the authors have many built-in accessible examples and some algorithms for specific crystal bases." MAA Reviews This unique book provides the first introduction to crystal base theory from the combinatorial point of view. Crystal base theory was developed by Kashiwara and Lusztig from the perspective of quantum groups. Its power comes from the fact that it addresses many questions in representation theory and mathematical physics by combinatorial means. This book approaches the subject directly from combinatorics, building crystals through local axioms (based on ideas by Stembridge) and virtual crystals. It also emphasizes parallels between the representation theory of the symmetric and general linear groups and phenomena in combinatorics. The combinatorial approach is linked to representation theory through the analysis of Demazure crystals. The relationship of crystals to tropical geometry is also explained.

This unique book provides the first introduction to crystal base theory from the combinatorial point of view. Crystal base theory was developed by Kashiwara and Lusztig from the perspective of quantum groups. Its power comes from the fact that it addresses many questions in representation theory and mathematical physics by combinatorial means. This book approaches the subject directly from combinatorics, building crystals through local axioms (based on the ideas by Stembridge) and virtual crystals. It also emphasizes parallels between the representation theory of the symmetric and general linear group, and phenomena in combinatorics. The authors are both contributors to Sage, an open-source mathematical software system, which has strong support for crystal bases and combinatorics and the book takes advantage of this.
