Abstract

Theq=0 combinatorics for\(U_q (\widehat{\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}}(n))\) is studied in connection with solvable lattice models. Crystal bases of highest weight representations of\(U_q (\widehat{\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}}(n))\) are labelled by paths which were introduced as labels of corner transfer matrix eigenvectors atq=0. It is shown that the crystal graphs for finite tensor products ofl-th symmetric tensor representations of\(U_q (\widehat{\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}}(n))\) approximate the crystal graphs of levell representations of\(U_q (\widehat{\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}}(n))\). The identification is made between restricted paths for the RSOS models and highest weight vectors in the crystal graphs of tensor modules for\(U_q (\widehat{\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}}(n))\).
