We present crystals as parameterized by Littelmann patterns and we give a survey of purely combinatorial constructions of prime power coefficients of Weyl group multiple Dirichlet series and metaplectic Whittaker functions using the language of crystal graphs. We explore how the branching structure of crystals manifests in these constructions, and how it allows access to some intricate objects in number theory and related open questions using tools of algebraic combinatorics.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-10-15T06:01:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05Exx", "11F68" ], "keywords": [ "number theory", "weyl group multiple dirichlet series", "crystal constructions", "metaplectic whittaker functions", "crystal graphs" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
