Highest Weight Crystals

class sage.categories.highest_weight_crystals.HighestWeightCrystals(s=None)

Bases: sage.categories.category.Category

The category of highest weight crystals.

A crystal is highest weight if it is acyclic; in particular, every connected component has a unique highest weight element, and that element generate the component.

EXAMPLES:

sage: C = HighestWeightCrystals()
sage: C
Category of highest weight crystals
sage: C.super_categories()
[Category of crystals]
sage: C.example()
Highest weight crystal of type A_3 of highest weight omega_1

sage: B = HighestWeightCrystals().example()

class ElementMethods

to_highest_weight(list=[], index_set=None)

Yields the highest weight element and a list such that , where are elements in . By default the index set is assumed to be the full index set of self.

EXAMPLES:

sage: T = CrystalOfTableaux(['A',3], shape = [1])
sage: t = T(rows = [[3]])
sage: t.to_highest_weight()
[[[1]], [2, 1]]
sage: t.to_highest_weight()
[[[1]], [2, 1]]
sage: T = CrystalOfTableaux(['A',3], shape = [2,1])
sage: t = T(rows = [[1,2],[4]])
sage: t.to_highest_weight()
[[[1, 1], [2]], [1, 3, 2]]
sage: t.to_highest_weight(index_set = [3])
[[[1, 2], [3]], [3]]

class HighestWeightCrystals.ParentMethods

highest_weight_vector()

Returns the highest weight vector if there is a single one; otherwise, raises an error.

Caveat: this assumes that highest_weight_vector() returns a list or tuple.

EXAMPLES:

sage: C = CrystalOfLetters(['A',5])
sage: C.highest_weight_vector()
1

highest_weight_vectors(*args, **kwds)

Returns the highest weight vectors of self

This default implementation selects among the module generators those that are highest weight, and cache the result.

EXAMPLES:

sage: C = CrystalOfLetters(['A',5])
sage: C.highest_weight_vectors()
[1]

sage: C = CrystalOfLetters(['A',2])
sage: T = TensorProductOfCrystals(C,C,C,generators=[[C(2),C(1),C(1)],[C(1),C(2),C(1)]])
sage: T.highest_weight_vectors()
[[2, 1, 1], [1, 2, 1]]

HighestWeightCrystals.example()

Returns an example of highest weight crystals, as per Category.example().

EXAMPLES:

sage: B = HighestWeightCrystals().example(); B
Highest weight crystal of type A_3 of highest weight omega_1

HighestWeightCrystals.super_categories(*args, **kwds)

EXAMPLES:

sage: HighestWeightCrystals().super_categories()
[Category of crystals]
