Alternating Snake Modules and a Determinantal Formula
摘要
We introduce a family of modules for the quantum affine algebra which include as very special cases both the snake modules and modules arising from a monoidal categorification of cluster algebras. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for these modules to be prime and prove a unique factorization result. We also give an explicit formula expressing the module as an alternating sum of Weyl modules. Finally, we give an application of our results to a classical question in the category
