Abstract

We introduce new combinatorial models, called zigzag strip bundles, over quantum affine algebras Uq(Bn(1)), Uq(Dn(1)) and Uq(Dn+1(2)), and show that the sets of all zigzag strip bundles for Uq(Bn(1)), Uq(Dn(1)) and Uq(Dn+1(2)) realize the crystal bases B( ∞ ) of Uq-(Bn(1)), Uq-(Dn(1)) and Uq-(Dn+1(2)), respectively. Further, we discuss the connection between zigzag strip bundle realization, Nakajima monomial realization, and polyhedral realization of the crystal B( ∞ ).
