Cones, crystals, and patterns. (English) Zbl 0908.17010
This work describes an interpretation of the Gelfand-Tsetlin patterns in terms of crystal graphs and generalizes such patterns to arbitrary complex semisimple algebraic groups. For each element of the crystal basis, the author gets a sequence of integers. He then considers the cone $$C$$ spanned by all such sequences. In some cases $$C$$ has a simple description. He finds a description in terms of the root ordering for all rank two Kac-Moody algebras.
