Abstract:

We give a realization of the crystal $B(-\infty )$ for $\widehat {\mathrm {sl}}_2$ using decorated polygons. The construction and proof are combinatorial, making use of Kashiwara and Saito’s characterization of $B(-\infty )$, in terms of the $*$ involution. The polygons we use have combinatorial properties suggesting they are the $\widehat {\mathrm {sl}}_2$ analogues of the Mirković-Vilonen polytopes defined by Anderson and the third author in finite type. Using Kashiwara’s similarity of crystals we also give MV polytopes for $A_2^{(2)}$, the other rank 2 affine Kac-Moody algebra.
