Virtual-crystal realization conjecture for the four affine types

Let 4g44\mathfrak{g}4 be of type Dn+1(2)D_{n+1}^{(2)}, A2n(2)A_{2n}^{(2)}, A2n(2)A_{2n}^{(2)\dagger}, or Cn(1)C_n^{(1)}, let 1rn1\leq r\leq n and s1s\geq1, and let Vr,sV^{r,s} be the virtual crystal with extremal vector u(Vr,s)u(V^{r,s}). Let 4μi44\mu_i4 be defined by 4μn=244\mu_n=24 for 4g=A2n(2)44\mathfrak{g}=A_{2n}^{(2)\dagger}4 and 4μi=144\mu_i=14 otherwise. Virtual-crystal identification conjecture. Vr,sV^{r,s} is the simple crystal Br,sB^{r,s} of the Uq(g)U'_q(\mathfrak{g})-module Ws(r)W^{(r)}_s, with extremal vector u(Vr,s)=u(V^r,s)u(V^{r,s})=u(\widehat{V}^{r,s}) of weight sμrΛrs\mu_r\overline{\Lambda}_r; consequently it has the prescribed Uq(g)U_q(\overline{\mathfrak{g}})-decomposition and intrinsic energy DVr,s=DBr,sD_{V^{r,s}}=D_{B^{r,s}}. This is the central conjectural identification behind the virtual-crystal construction; the paper proves related statements in special cases but does not establish it uniformly for all listed types and parameters.
