On the Hernandez conjecture
By Ryo Fujita
In 2004, Nakajima established a unified Kazhdan-Lusztig type algorithm to compute the q-characters of finite-dimensional simple representations of quantum affine algebras of simply-laced types in a geometric manner. Hernandez showed that a similar algorithm can be formulated for non-simply laced types as well, and conjectured that it actually computes the simple q-characters. In this talk, I will report recent progress toward this conjecture, including its proof in classical types, based on joint works with Hernandez, Oh, Oya, and with Qin.
