Strong Duality Data of Type A and Extended T-Systems

The extended T-systems are a number of relations in the Grothendieck ring of the category of finite-dimensional modules over the quantum affine algebras of types \(A_n^{(1)}\) $A_n^{(1)}$ and \(B_n^{(1)}\) $B_n^{(1)}$ , introduced by Mukhin and Young as a generalization of the T-systems. In this paper we establish the extended T-systems for more general modules, which are constructed from an arbitrary strong duality datum of type A. Our approach does not use the theory of q-characters, and so also provides a new proof to the original Mukhin–Young’s extended T-systems.
