We first provide an introduction to quantum loop algebras and their finite-dimensional representations. We explain in particular Nakajima's geometric description of the irreducible q-characters in terms of graded quiver varieties. We then present a recent attempt to understand the tensor structure of the category of finite- dimensional representations by means of cluster algebras.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-02-05T15:18:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum loop algebras", "cluster algebras", "14th international conference", "nakajimas geometric description", "icra xiv" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1102.1076L" } } }
