arXiv:math/0103008 · doi:10.1007/PL00005810

Abstract

In this article, we give geometric constructions of tensor products in various categories using quiver varieties. More precisely, we introduce a lagrangian subvariety $\Zl$ in a quiver variety, and show the following results: (1) The homology group of $\Zl$ is a representation of a symmetric Kac-Moody Lie algebra , isomorphic to the tensor product of integrable highest weight modules. (2) The set of irreducible components of $\Zl$ has a structure of a crystal, isomorphic to that of the -analogue of . (3) The equivariant -homology group of $\Zl$ is isomorphic to the tensor product of universal standard modules of the quantum loop algebra $\Ul$, when is of type . We also give a purely combinatorial description of the crystal of (2). This result is new even when N=1.
