The elements in crystal bases corresponding to exceptional modules

Abstract

According to the Ringel-Green theorem, the generic composition algebra of the Hall algebra provides a realization of the positive part of the quantum group. Furthermore, its Drinfeld double can be identified with the whole quantum group, in which the BGP-reflection functors coincide with Lusztig’s symmetries. It is first asserted that the elements corresponding to exceptional modules lie in the integral generic composition algebra, hence in the integral form of the quantum group. Then it is proved that these elements lie in the crystal basis up to a sign. Eventually, it is shown that the sign can be removed by the geometric method. The results hold for any type of Cartan datum.
