We give an introduction to the geometric realization of crystal graphs via the quiver varieties of Lusztig and Nakajima. The emphasis is on motivating the constructions through concrete examples. The relation between the geometric construction of crystals and combinatorial realizations using Young tableaux is also discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-03-25T23:59:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "17B37" ], "keywords": [ "geometric realization", "fields institute summer school", "extended affine lie algebras", "geometric representation theory", "lecture series" ], "tags": [ "journal article", "lecture notes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 29, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1003.5019S" } } }
