SPECIAL BASES OF IRREDUCIBLE MODULES OF THE QUANTIZED UNIVERSAL ENVELOPING ALGEBRA U(V)(GL(N))

In this paper we construct a basis for an irreducible module of the quantized enveloping algebra Uv (gl(n)) which is a q-analogue of the special basis of an irreducible GL(n)-module introduced by C. de Concini and D. Kazhdan (Israel J. Math.40, 1980, 275-290). We conjecture the basis is the dual basis of the canonical basis introduced by G. Lusztig (J. Amer. Math. Soc.3, 1990, 447-498). © 1993 Academic Press, Inc.
