Abstract. We prove a family of 3-term relations in the Grothendieck ring of the category
of finite-dimensional modules over the affine quantum algebra of type G2 extending the
celebrated T -system relations of type G2. We show that these relations can be used to
compute classes of certain irreducible modules, including classes of all minimal affinizations
of type G2. We use this result to obtain explicit formulas for dimensions of all participating
modules.

1 Introduction
Kirillov–Reshetikhin modules are simplest examples of irreducible finite-dimensional modules
over quantum affine algebras, and the T -system is a famous family of short exact sequences
of tensor products of Kirillov–Reshetikhin modules, see [10, 15, 16, 20]. There are numerous
applications of the T -systems in representation theory, combinatorics and integrable systems,
see the survey [17].
Minimal affinizations of quantum affine algebras form an important family of irreducible
modules which contains the Kirillov–Reshetikhin modules, see [3]. A procedure to extend the
T -system to a larger set of relations to include the minimal affinization was described in [18],
where it was conjectured to work in all types. In [18] this procedure was carried out in types A
and B. In this paper, we show the existence of the extended T -system for type G2.
We work with the quantum affine algebra Uqĝ of type G2. The irreducible finite-dimensional
modules of quantum affine algebras are parameterized by the highest l-weights or Drinfeld
polynomials. Let T be an irreducible Uqĝ-module such that zeros of all Drinfeld polynomials
belong to a lattice aqZ for some a ∈ C×. Following [18], we define the left, right, and bottom
modules, denoted by L, R, B respectively. The Drinfeld polynomials of left, right, and bottom
modules are obtained by stripping the rightmost, leftmost, and both left- and rightmost zeros
of the union of zeros of the Drinfeld polynomials of the top module T .
Then the relations of the extended T -system have the form [L][R] = [T ][B] + [S], where
[·] denotes the equivalence class of a Uqĝ-module in the Grothendieck ring of the category of

finite-dimensional representations of Uqĝ. Moreover, in all cases the modules T ⊗ B and S are
irreducible.
We start with minimal affinizations as the top modules T , then the left, right and bottom
modules are minimal affinizations as well. We compute S and decompose it as a product of
irreducible modules which we call sources. It turns out that the sources are not always minimal
affinizations. Therefore, we follow up with taking the sources as top modules and compute new
left, right, bottom modules, and sources. Then we use all new modules obtained on a previous
step as top modules and so on.
We end up with several families of modules which we denote by B(s)
k,`, C
(s)
k,` , D
(s)
k,`, E
(s)
k,` , F
(s)

B̃(s)

(s)
k,` , D̃
(s)
k,`, Ẽ
(s)
k,` , F̃
(s)
k,` , where s ∈ Z, k, ` ∈ Z≥0. This is the minimal set of modules which
contains all minimal affinizations
(
these are modules B(s)
k,`, B̃
(s)
k,`
)
and which is closed under our
set of relations. Namely, if any of the above modules is chosen as a top module then the left,
right, bottom modules and all sources belong to this set as well, see Theorems 3.4, 7.4. The
spirit of the proof Theorems 3.4, 7.4 follows the works in [10, 18, 21].
We show that the extended T -system allows us to compute the modules B(s)
k,`, C
(s)
k,` , D
(s)
k,`,
E(s)
k,` , F
(s)
k,` recursively in terms of fundamental modules, see Proposition 3.6. We use this to
compute the dimensions of all participating modules, in particular, we give explicit formulas for
dimensions of all minimal affinizations of type G2, see Theorem 8.1. We hope further, that one
can use use the extended T -system to obtain the decomposition of all participating modules as
the Uqg-modules.
Let us point out some similarities and differences with types A and B. The type A, the
extended T -system is closed within the class of minimal affinizations, meaning that all sources
are minimal affinizations as well. In type B, the extended T -system is not closed within the class
of minimal affinizations, but it is closed in the class of so called snake modules, see [18]. For the
proofs and computations it is important that all modules participating in extended T -systems
of types A and B are thin and special, moreover their q-characters are known explicitly in terms
of skew Young tableaux in type A, and in terms of path models in type B, see [6, 18, 19, 22].
In general the modules of the extended T -system of type G2 are not thin and at the moment
there is no combinatorial description of their q-characters. However, all modules turn out to be
either special or anti-special. Therefore we are able to use the FM algorithm, see [8], to compute
the sufficient information about q-characters in order to complete the proofs. Note, that a priori
it is was not obvious that the extended T -system will be closed within special or anti-special
modules. Moreover, since the q-characters of G2 modules are not known explicitly, the property
of being special or anti-special had to be established in each case, see Theorems 3.3, 7.2.
Note that in general the minimal affinizations of types C, D, E, F are neither special nor
anti-special, therefore the methods of this paper cannot be applied in those cases.
There is a remarkable conjecture on the cluster algebra relations in the category of finite-
dimensional representations of quantum affine algebras of type A, D, E, see [12]. Taking into
account the work of [13, 14], one could expect that the conjecture of [12] can be formulated for
other types as well, in particular for type G2. We expect that the extended T -system is a part
of cluster algebra relations.
The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we give some background material. In Sec-
tion 3, we define the modules B(s)
k,`, C
(s)
k,` , D
(s)
k,`, E
(s)
k,` , F
(s)
k,` and state our main result, Theorem 3.4.
In Section 4, we prove that the modules B(s)
k,`, C
(s)
k,` , D
(s)
k,`, E
(s)
k,` , F
(s)
k,` are special. In Section 5, we
prove Theorem 3.4. In Section 6, we prove that the module T ⊗B is irreducible for each relation
in the extended T -system. In Section 7, we deduce the extended T -system for the modules B̃(s)
k,`,
C̃(s)
k,` , D̃
(s)
k,`, Ẽ
(s)
k,` , F̃

T -systems.

2 Background
2.1 Cartan data
Let g be a complex simple Lie algebra of type G2 and h a Cartan subalgebra of g. Let I = {1, 2}.
We choose simple roots α1, α2 and scalar product (·, ·) such that
(α1, α1) = 2, (α1, α2) = −3, (α2, α2) = 6.
Let {α∨1 , α∨2 } and {ω1, ω2} be the sets of simple coroots and fundamental weights respectively.
Let C = (Cij)i,j∈I denote the Cartan matrix, where Cij =
2(αi,αj)
(αi,αi)

D = diag(r1, r2) and B = DC. Then
C =

Let Q (resp. Q+) and P (resp. P+) denote the Z-span (resp. Z≥0-span) of the simple roots
and fundamental weights respectively. Let ≤ be the partial order on P in which λ ≤ λ′ if and
only if λ′ − λ ∈ Q+.
Let ĝ denote the untwisted affine algebra corresponding to g. Fix a q ∈ C×, not a root of
unity. Let qi = qri , i = 1, 2. Define the q-numbers, q-factorial and q-binomial:

qn − q−n
q − q−1

There exist a coproduct, counit and antipode making Uqĝ into a Hopf algebra.

The quantum affine algebra Uqĝ contains two standard quantum affine algebras of type A1.
The first one is Uq1(ŝl2) generated by x±1,n (n ∈ Z), k±1
1 , h1,n (n ∈ Z\{0}) and central ele-
ments c±1/2. The second one is Uq2(ŝl2) generated by x±2,n (n ∈ Z), k±1
2 , h2,n (n ∈ Z\{0}) and
central elements c±1/2.
The subalgebra of Uqĝ generated by (k±i )i∈I , (x±i,0)i∈I is a Hopf subalgebra of Uqĝ and is
isomorphic as a Hopf algebra to Uqg, the quantized enveloping algebra of g. In this way, Uqĝ-
modules restrict to Uqg-modules.
2.3 Finite-dimensional representations and q-characters
In this section, we recall the standard facts about finite-dimensional representations of Uqĝ and
q-characters of these representations, see [2, 4, 8, 9, 18].
A representation V of Uqĝ is of type 1 if c±1/2 acts as the identity on V and
V =
⊕
λ∈P
Vλ, Vλ =
{
v ∈ V : kiv = q(αi,λ)v
}
. (2.2)
In the following, all representations will be assumed to be finite-dimensional and of type 1
without further comment. The decomposition (2.2) of a finite-dimensional representation V
into its Uqg-weight spaces can be refined by decomposing it into the Jordan subspaces of the
mutually commuting operators φ±i,±r, see [9]:
V =
⊕
γ
Vγ , γ =
(
γ±i,±r
)
i∈I, r∈Z≥0
, γ±i,±r ∈ C, (2.3)
where
Vγ =
{
v ∈ V : ∃ k ∈ N,∀ i ∈ I,m ≥ 0,
(
φ±i,±m − γ
±
i,±m
)k
v = 0
}
.
If dim(Vγ) > 0, then γ is called an l-weight of V . For every finite dimensional representation
of Uqĝ, the l-weights are known, see [9], to be of the form
γ±i (u) :=
∞∑
r=0
γ±i,±ru
±r = qdegQi−degRi
i
Qi(uq
−1
i )Ri(uqi)
Qi(uqi)Ri(uq
−1
i )
, (2.4)
where the right hand side is to be treated as a formal series in positive (resp. negative) integer
powers of u, and Qi, Ri are polynomials of the form
Qi(u) =
∏
a∈C×
(1− ua)wi,a , Ri(u) =
∏
a∈C×
(1− ua)xi,a , (2.5)
for some wi,a, xi,a ∈ Z≥0, i ∈ I, a ∈ C×. Let P denote the free abelian multiplicative
group of monomials in infinitely many formal variables (Yi,a)i∈I, a∈C× . There is a bijection γ
from P to the set of l-weights of finite-dimensional modules such that for the monomial m =∏
i∈I, a∈C× Y
wi,a−xi,a
i,a , the l-weight γ(m) is given by (2.4), (2.5).
Let ZP = Z
[
Y ±1
i,a
]
i∈I, a∈C× be the group ring of P. For χ ∈ ZP, we write m ∈ P if the
coefficient of m in χ is non-zero.
The q-character of a Uqĝ-module V is given by
χq(V ) =
∑
m∈P
dim(Vm)m ∈ ZP,
where Vm = Vγ(m).
Extended T -System of Type G2 5
Let Rep(Uqĝ) be the Grothendieck ring of finite-dimensional representations of Uqĝ and
[V ] ∈ Rep(Uqĝ) the class of a finite-dimensional Uqĝ-module V . The q-character map defines
an injective ring homomorphism, see [9],
χq : Rep(Uqĝ)→ ZP.
For any finite-dimensional representation V of Uqĝ, denote by M (V ) the set of all monomials
in χq(V ). For each j ∈ I, a monomial m =
∏
i∈I, a∈C× Y
ui,a
i,a , where ui,a are some integers, is
said to be j-dominant (resp. j-anti-dominant) if and only if uj,a ≥ 0 (resp. uj,a ≤ 0) for all
a ∈ C×. A monomial is called dominant (resp. anti-dominant) if and only if it is j-dominant
(resp. j-anti-dominant) for all j ∈ I. Let P+ ⊂ P denote the set of all dominant monomials.
Let V be a representation of Uqĝ and m ∈M (V ) a monomial. A non-zero vector v ∈ Vm is
called a highest l-weight vector with highest l-weight γ(m) if
x+
i,r · v = 0, φ±i,±t · v = γ(m)±i,±tv, ∀ i ∈ I, r ∈ Z, t ∈ Z≥0.
The module V is called a highest l-weight representation if V = Uqĝ ·v for some highest l-weight
vector v ∈ V .
It is known, see [2, 4], that for each m+ ∈ P+ there is a unique finite-dimensional irreducible
representation, denoted L(m+), of Uqĝ that is highest l-weight representation with highest l-
weight γ(m+), and moreover every finite-dimensional irreducible Uqĝ-module is of this form for
some m+ ∈ P+. Also, if m+, m′+ ∈ P+ and m+ 6= m′+, then L(m+) 6∼= L(m′+). For m+ ∈ P+,
we use χq(m+) to denote χq(L(m+)).
The following lemma is well-known.
Lemma 2.1. Let m1, m2 be two monomials. Then L(m1m2) is a sub-quotient of L(m1)⊗L(m2).
In particular, M (L(m1m2)) ⊆M (L(m1))M (L(m2)).
For b ∈ C×, define the shift of spectral parameter map τb : ZP → ZP to be a homomorphism
of rings sending Y ±1
i,a to Y ±1
i,ab. Let m1, m2 ∈ P+. If τb(m1) = m2, then
τbχq(m1) = χq(m2). (2.6)
Let m+ be a dominant l-weight. We call the polynomial χq(m+) special if it contains exactly
one dominant monomial.
A finite-dimensional Uqĝ-module V is said to be special if and only if M (V ) contains exactly
one dominant monomial. It is called anti-special if and only if M (V ) contains exactly one anti-
dominant monomial. It is called thin if and only if no l-weight space of V has dimension greater
than 1. We also call a polynomial in ZP special, antispecial, or thin if this polynomial contains
a unique dominant monomial, a unique anti-dominant monomial, or if all coefficients are zero
and one respectively. A finite-dimensional Uqĝ-module is said to be prime if and only if it is
not isomorphic to a tensor product of two non-trivial Uqĝ-modules, see [5]. Clearly, if a module
is special or anti-special, then it is irreducible.
Define Ai,a ∈ P, i ∈ I, a ∈ C×, by
A1,a = Y1,aqY1,aq−1Y −1
2,a , A2,a = Y2,aq3Y2,aq−3Y −1
1,aq−2Y
−1
1,a Y
−1
1,aq2
.
Let Q be the subgroup of P generated by Ai,a, i ∈ I, a ∈ C×. Let Q± be the monoids generated
by A±1
i,a , i ∈ I, a ∈ C×. There is a partial order ≤ on P in which
m ≤ m′ if and only if m′m−1 ∈ Q+. (2.7)
For all m+ ∈ P+, M (L(m+)) ⊂ m+Q−, see [8].
6 J.R. Li and E. Mukhin
A monomial m is called right negative if and only if ∀ a ∈ C× and ∀ i ∈ I, we have the
following property: if the power of Yi,a is non-zero and the power of Yj,aqk is zero for all j ∈ I,
k ∈ Z>0, then the power of Yi,a is negative. For i ∈ I, a ∈ C×, A−1
i,a is right-negative. A product
of right-negative monomials is right-negative. If m is right-negative, then m′ ≤ m implies
that m′ is right-negative.
2.4 Minimal affinizations of Uqg-modules
Let λ = kω1 + `ω2. A simple Uqĝ-module L(m+) is called a minimal affinization of V (λ) if and
only if m+ is one of the following monomials(
`−1∏
i=0
Y2,aq6i
)(
k−1∏
i=0
Y1,aq6`+2i+1
)
,
(
k−1∏
i=0
Y1,aq2i
)(
`−1∏
i=0
Y2,aq2k+6i+5
)
,
for some a ∈ C×, see [3]. In particular, when k = 0 or ` = 0, the minimal affinization L(m+) is
called a Kirillov–Reshetikhin module.
Let L(m+) be a Kirillov–Reshetikhin module. It is shown in [10] that any non-highest
monomial in M (L(m+)) is right-negative and in particular L(m+) is special.
2.5 q-characters of Uqŝl2-modules and the FM algorithm
The q-characters of Uq ŝl2-modules are well-understood, see [1, 9]. We recall the results here.
Let W
(a)
k be the irreducible representation Uq ŝl2 with highest weight monomial
X
(a)
k =
k−1∏
i=0
Yaqk−2i−1 ,
where Ya = Y1,a. Then the q-character of W
(a)
k is given by

)

k
k∑
i=0
i−1∏
j=0

aqk−2j ,
where Aa = Yaq−1Yaq.
For a ∈ C×, k ∈ Z≥1, the set Σ
(a)
k = {aqk−2i−1}i=0,...,k−1 is called a string. Two strings Σ
(a)
k
and Σ
(a′)
k′ are said to be in general position if the union Σ
(a)
k ∪Σ
(a′)
k′ is not a string or Σ

k ⊂ Σ

k′
or Σ

k .
Denote by L(m+) the irreducible Uq ŝl2-module with highest weight monomial m+. Let
m+ 6= 1 and ∈ Z[Ya]a∈C× be a dominant monomial. Then m+ can be uniquely (up to permuta-
tion) written in the form

For j ∈ I, let

[

]
i∈I;a∈C× → Z
[
Y ±1
a
]
a∈C×
be the ring homomorphism which sends, for all a ∈ C×, Yk,a 7→ 1 for k 6= j and Yj,a 7→ Ya.
Let V be a Uqĝ-module. Then βi(χq(V )), i = 1, 2, is the q-character of V considered as
a Uqi(ŝl2)-module.
In some situation, we can use the q-characters of Uq ŝl2-modules to compute the q-characters
of Uqĝ-modules for arbitrary g, see [8, Section 5]. The corresponding algorithm is called the
FM algorithm. The FM algorithm recursively computes the minimal possible q-character which
contains m+ and is consistent when restricted to Uqi(ŝl2), i = 1, 2.
Although the FM algorithm does not give the q-character of a Uqĝ-module in general, the FM
algorithm works for a large family of Uqĝ-modules. For example, if a module L(m+) is special,
then the FM algorithm applied to m+, produces the correct q-character χq(m+), see [8].
2.6 Truncated q-characters
We use the truncated q-characters [12, 18]. Given a set of monomials R ⊂ P, let ZR ⊂ ZP
denote the Z-module of formal linear combinations of elements of R with integer coefficients.
Define
truncR : P → R; m 7→
{
m if m ∈ R,
0 if m 6∈ R,
and extend truncR as a Z-module map ZP → ZR.
Given a subset U ⊂ I ×C×, let QU be the subgroups of Q generated by Ai,a with (i, a) ∈ U .
Let Q±U be the monoid generated by A±1
i,a with (i, a) ∈ U . We call truncm+Q−U
χq(m+) the
q-character of L(m+) truncated to U .
If U = I × C×, then truncm+Q−U
χq(m+) is the ordinary q-character of L(m+).
The main idea of using the truncated q-characters is the following. Given m+, one chooses R
in such a way that the dropped monomials are all right-negative and the truncated q-character
is much smaller than the full q-character. The advantage is that the truncated q-character
is much easier to compute and to describe in a combinatorial way. At the same time, if the
truncating set R can be used for both m+
1 and m+
2 , then the same R works for the tensor
product L(m+
1 )⊗ L(m+
2 ). Moreover, the product of truncated characters of L(m+
1 ) and L(m+
2 )
contains all dominant monomials of the tensor product L(m+
1 )⊗L(m+
2 ) and can be used to find
the decomposition of it into irreducible components in the Grothendieck ring. We compute the
truncated q-characters using the following theorem.
Theorem 2.2 ([18, Theorem 2.1]). Let U ⊂ I × C× and m+ ∈ P+. Suppose that M ⊂ P is
a finite set of distinct monomials such that
(i) M⊂ m+Q−U ,
(ii) P+ ∩M = {m+},
(iii) for all m ∈M and all (i, a) ∈ U , if mA−1
i,a 6∈ M, then mA−1
i,aAj,b 6∈ M unless (j, b) = (i, a),
(iv) for all m ∈ M and all i ∈ I, there exists a unique i-dominant monomial M ∈ M such
that
truncβi(MQ−U ) χq(βi(M)) =
∑
m′∈mQ{i}×C×
βi(m
′).
8 J.R. Li and E. Mukhin
Then
truncm+Q−U
χq(m+) =
∑
m∈M
m.
Here by χq(βi(M)) we mean the q-character of the irreducible Uqi(ŝl2)-module with highest
weight monomial βi(M) and by truncβi(MQ
−
U ) we mean keeping only the monomials of
χq(βi(M)) in the set βi(MQ−U ).
3 Main results

Without loss of generality, we fix a ∈ C× and consider modules V with M (V ) ⊂ Z[Yi,aqk ]i∈I, k∈Z.
In the following, for simplicity we write is, i

i,aqs respectively. The
q-characters of fundamental modules are easy to compute by using the FM algorithm.

For s ∈ Z, χq(1s) and χq(2s) are obtained by shift all indices by s in χq(10) and χq(20)
respectively.
It is convenient to keep in mind the following lemma.
Lemma 3.2. If b ∈ Z\{±2,±8,±12}, then
L(101b) = L(10)⊗ L(1b), dimL(101b) = 49.
If b ∈ Z\{±6,±8,±10,±12}, then
L(202b) = L(20)⊗ L(2b), dimL(202b) = 225.
If b ∈ Z\{±7,±11}, then
L(102b) = L(10)⊗ L(2b), L(201b) = L(20)⊗ L(1b),
dimL(102b) = dimL(201b) = 105.
In addition, we have
dimL(1012) = 34, dimL(1018) = 42, dimL(10112) = 48,
dimL(2026) = 92, dimL(2028) = 210, dimL(20210) = 183, dimL(20212) = 224,
dimL(1027) = dimL(2017) = 71, dimL(10211) = dimL(20111) = 98.
Proof. By Lemma 3.1, the tensor products in the first three cases of the lemma are special.
Therefore the tensor products are irreducible. Hence the first three cases of the lemma are true.
The last part of the lemma can be proved using the methods of Section 5. In fact some of the
dimensions follow from Theorem 8.1. We do not use this lemma in the proofs. Therefore we
omit the details of the proof. �

We prove Theorem 3.4 in Section 5.
Note that since D
(s)
k,0 = B
(s)
k,1, equations for D(s)
k,0 are included in the equations for B(s)
k,1.
All relations except (3.5), (3.6) in Theorem 3.4 are written in the form [L][R] = [T ][B] + [S],
where L, R, T , B are irreducible modules which we call left, right, top and bottom modules and S
is a tensor product of some irreducible modules. We call the factors of S sources. Moreover, we
have the following theorem.
Theorem 3.5. For each relation in Theorem 3.4, all summands on the right hand side, T ⊗ B
and S, are irreducible.
We will prove Theorem 3.5 in Section 6.
Recall that the q-characters of modules for different s are related by the simple shift of
indexes, see (2.6).
We have the following proposition.
Proposition 3.6. Given χq(1s), χq(2s), one can obtain the q-characters of B(s)
k,`, C
(s)
k,` , D
(s)
k,`, E
(s)
k,` ,
F (s)
k,` , s ∈ Z, k, ` ∈ Z≥0, recursively, by using (3.1), and computing the q-character of the top
module through the q-characters of other modules in relations in Theorem 3.4.
Proof. Claim 1. Let n, m be positive integers. Then the q-characters

Extended T -System of Type G2 11
We use induction on n, m to prove Claim 1. For simplicity, we do not write the upper-
subscripts “(s)” in the remaining part of the proof. We know that, see [10], the q-characters of
Kirillov–Reshetikhin modules can be computed from χq(10), χq(20).
When n = 0, m = 1, Claim 1 is clearly true. It is clear that χq(D0,1) can be computed
using (3.9). Therefore Claim 1 holds for n = 1, m = 0,
Suppose that for n ≤ n1 and m ≤ m1, Claim 1 is true. Let n = n1 + 1, m = m1. We need to
show that Claim 1 is true. Then we need to show that
χq(Bn1+1,`), ` ≤ m1, χq(Cn1,`), ` ≤

χq(Fk,`), k = 3n1 − 3, 3n1 − 2, 3n1 − 1, ` ≤ m1 + 2,
can be computed.
We compute the following modules
χq(F3n1−3,`), ` ≤ m1 + 2, χq(F3n1−2,`), ` ≤ m1 + 2,
χq(Cn1,`), ` ≤

in the order as shown. At each step, we consider the module that we want to compute as
a top module and use the corresponding relation in Theorem 3.4 and known q-characters. For
example, we consider the first set of modules χq(F3n1−3,`), ` ≤ m1+2. Since
⌊
m1+3
3

≤
⌈
2m1+1
6
⌉
,
χq(Cn1−1,`), ` ≤

m1+3

, is known by induction hypothesis. Similarly, χq(Dn1−1,`), ` ≤
⌊
m1+2

is known. Therefore χq(F3n1−3,`), ` ≤ m1 + 2, is computed using the last equation of (3.11).
Similarly, we show that Claim 1 holds for n = n1, m = m1 + 1. Therefore Claim 1 is true for
all n ≥ 1, m ≥ 1. �

In this section, we will show that the modules B(s)
k,`, C
(s)
k,` , D
(s)
k,`, E
(s)
k,` , F
(s)
k,` are special.
Since B(s)

0,` , B(s)
k,0, C(s)
k,0, E(s)
k,0, F (s)
k,0 are Kirillov–Reshetikhin modules, they are special.
4.1 The case of C(s)
k,`
Let m+ = C
(s)
k,` with k, ` ∈ Z≥1. Without loss of generality, we can assume that s = 6. Then
m+ = (26212 · · · 26k)(26k+1026k+16 · · · 26k+6`+4).
Case 1. k = 1. Let U = I × {aqs : s ∈ Z, s < 6`+ 13}. Clearly, all monomials in χq(m+)−
truncm+Q−U
χq(m+) are right-negative. Therefore it is sufficient to show that truncm+Q−U
χq(m+)
is special.
12 J.R. Li and E. Mukhin
Let M be the finite set consisting of the following monomials
m0 = m+, m1 = m0A
−1
2,9, m2 = m1A
−1
1,12,
m3 = m2A
−1
1,10, m4 = m3A
−1
1,8, m5 = m4A
−1
2,11.
It is clear that M satisfies the conditions in Theorem 2.2. Therefore
truncm+Q−U
χq(m+) =
∑
m∈M
m
and truncm+Q−U
χq(m+) is special.
Case 2. k > 1. Since the conditions of Theorem 2.2 do not apply to this case, we use another
technique to show that L(m+) is special. We embed L(m+) into two different tensor products.
In both tensor products, each factor is special. Therefore we can use the FM algorithm to
compute the q-characters of the factors. We classify the dominant monomials in the first tensor
product and show that the only dominant monomial in the first tensor product which occurs in
the second tensor product is m+ which proves that L(m+) is special.
The first tensor product is L(m′1)⊗ L(m′2), where
m′1 = 26212 · · · 26k, m′2 = 26k+1026k+16 · · · 26k+6`+4.
We use the FM algorithm to compute χq(m
′
1), χq(m
′
2) and classify all dominant monomials
in χq(m
′
1)χq(m
′
2). Let m = m1m2 be a dominant monomial, where mi ∈ χq(m′i), i = 1, 2. If
m2 6= m′2, then m is a right negative monomial therefore m is not dominant. Hence m2 = m′2.
If m1 6= m′1, then m1 is right negative. Since m is dominant, each factor with a neg-
ative power in m1 needs to be canceled by a factor in m′2. All possible cancellations can-
cel 26k+10 in m′2. We have M(L(m′1)) ⊂ M(χq(26212 · · · 26k−6)χq(26k)). Only monomials
in χq(26k) can cancel 26k+10. These monomials are 16k+116k+92−1
6k+10, 1−1
6k+316k+926k+22−1
6k+10,
and 16k+516k+716k+92−1
6k+82−1
6k+10. Therefore m1 is in one of the following polynomials
χq(26212 · · · 26k−6)16k+116k+92−1
6k+10, (4.1)
χq(26212 · · · 26k−6)1−1
6k+316k+926k+22−1
6k+10, (4.2)
χq(26212 · · · 26k−6)16k+516k+716k+92−1
6k+82−1
6k+10. (4.3)
Subcase 2.1. Let m1 be in (4.1). If m1 = 26212 · · · 26k−616k+116k+92−1
6k+10, then
m = m1m2 = 26212 · · · 26k−616k+116k+926k+16 · · · 26k+6`+4 (4.4)
is dominant. Suppose that
m1 6= 26212 · · · 26k−616k+116k+92−1
6k+10.
Then m1 = n116k+116k+92−1
6k+10, where n1 is a non-highest monomial in χq(26212 · · · 26k−6).
Since n1 is right negative, 16k+1 or 16k+9 should cancel a factor of n1 with a negative power.
Using the FM algorithm, we see that there exists a factor 12
6k−1 or 12
6k+7 in a monomial in
χq(26212 · · · 26k−6)16k+116k+92−1
6k+10. By Lemma 3.1, neither 12
6k−1 nor 12
6k+7 appear. This is
a contradiction.
Subcase 2.2. Let m1 be in (4.2). If m1 = 26212 · · · 26k−61−1
6k+316k+926k+22−1
6k+10, then m =
m1m2 is not dominant. Suppose that m1 6= 26212 · · · 26k−61−1
6k+316k+926k+22−1
6k+10. Then m1 =
n11−1
6k+316k+926k+22−1
6k+10, where n1 is a non-highest monomial in χq(26212 · · · 26k−6). Since n1
is right negative, 16k+9 or 26k+2 should cancel a factor of n1 with a negative power. Using the
Extended T -System of Type G2 13
FM algorithm, we see that there exists either a factor 12
6k+7 or a factor 22
6k−4 in a monomial
in χq(26212 · · · 26k−6)16k+116k+92−1
6k+10. By Lemma 3.1, neither 12
6k+7 nor 22
6k−4 appear. This is
a contradiction.
Subcase 2.3. Let m1 be in (4.3). If m1 = 26212 · · · 26k−616k+516k+716k+92−1
6k+82−1
6k+10, then
m = m1m2 is not dominant. Suppose that m1 6= 26212 · · · 26k−616k+516k+716k+92−1
6k+82−1
6k+10.
Then we have m1 = n116k+516k+716k+92−1
6k+82−1
6k+10, where n1 is a non-highest monomial in
χq(26212 · · · 26k−6). Since n1 is right negative, 16k+5 or 16k+7 or 16k+9 should cancel a factor
of n1 with a negative power. Using the FM algorithm, we see that there exists a factor 16k+7
or 16k+5 or 12
6k+3 in a monomial in χq(26212 · · · 26k−6)16k+116k+92−1
6k+10. By Lemma 3.1, 16k+7,
16k+5, and 12
6k+3 do not appear. This is a contradiction.
Therefore the only dominant monomials in χq(m
′
1)χq(m
′
2) are m+ and (4.4).
The second tensor product is L(m′′1)⊗ L(m′′2), where
m′′1 = 26212 · · · 26k−6, m′′2 = 26k26k+1026k+16 · · · 26k+6`+4.
The monomial (4.4) is
n = m+A
−1
2,6k+3A
−1
1,6k+6A
−1
1,6k+4A
−1
2,6k+7. (4.5)
Since Ai,a, i ∈ I, a ∈ C× are algebraically independent, the expression (4.5) of n of the form
m+
∏
i∈I, a∈C× A
−vi,a
i,a , where vi,a are some integers, is unique. Suppose that the monomial n is
in χq(m
′′
1)χq(m
′′
2). Then n = n1n2, where ni ∈ χq(m′′i ), i = 1, 2. By the expression (4.5), we
have n1 = m′′1 and
n2 = m′′2A
−1
2,6k+3A
−1
1,6k+6A
−1
1,6k+4A

2,6k+7.
By the FM algorithm, the monomial m′′2A
−1
2,6k+3A
−1
1,6k+6A
−1
1,6k+4A
−1
2,6k+7 is not in χq(m

2). This
contradicts the fact that n2 ∈ χq(m′′2). Therefore n is not in χq(m

1)χq(m

2).
4.2 The case of B(s)

Let m+ = B

k,` with k, ` ∈ Z≥1. Without loss of generality, we can assume that s = 6. Then
m+ = (26212 · · · 26k)(16k+716k+9 · · · 16k+2`+5).
Let U = I × {aqs : s ∈ Z, s < 6k + 2`+ 6}. Clearly, all monomials in the polynomial χq(m+)−
truncm+Q−U
χq(m+) are right-negative. Therefore it is sufficient to show that the truncated
q-character truncm+Q−U
χq(m+) is special.
Let M be the finite set consisting of the following monomials

−1
2,6k+3, m2 = m1A
−1
2,6k−3, . . . , mk = mk−1A

It is clear that M satisfies the conditions in Theorem 2.2. Therefore

χq(m+) is special.

Case 1. k = 0. Let U = I × {aqs : s ∈ Z, s < 6` + 5}. Clearly, all monomials in χq(m+) −

Let

It is clear that M satisfies the conditions in Theorem 2.2. Therefore

χq(m+) is special.
Case 2. k > 0. Let

m′′1 = 2026 · · · 26k−6, m′′2 = 16k+126k+826k+14 · · · 26k+6`+2.
Then M (L(m+)) ⊂M (χq(m

1)χq(m
′
2)) ∩M (χq(m
′′
1)χq(m

By using similar arguments as the case of C(s)
k,` , we show that the only dominant monomials

2) are m+ and
n = 2026 · · · 26k−616k+516k+726k+1426k+20 · · · 26k+6`+2 = m+A

Moreover, n is not in χq(m

that ` = 2r + 1, r ≥ 0 and k = 3p, p ≥ 1. The cases of ` = 2r, r ≥ 1, or k = 0 or k = 3p + 1,
p ≥ 0 or k = 3p+ 2, p ≥ 0 are similar.
Then
m = (1113 · · · 16p−1)(26p+426p+10 · · · 26p+6r−226p+6r+4)(26p+626p+12 · · · 26p+6r).
Let U = I × {aqs : s ∈ Z, s < 6p+ 6r + 3}. Clearly, all monomials in the polynomial χq(m+)−
truncm+Q−U
χq(m+) are right-negative. Therefore it is sufficient to show that the truncated

χq(m+) is special.
Let M be the finite set consisting of the following monomials

Case 1. k = 1. Let U = I × {aqs : s ∈ Z, s < 2` + 8}. Clearly, all monomials in χq(m+) −

Moreover, n1, n2, n3, n4 are not in χq(m

Proof. We prove the case of χq
(
C(s)
k,`−1
)
χq
(

k−1,`
)
. The other cases are similar. Let m′1 =
C
(s)
k,`−1, m′2 = C
(s+6)
k−1,` . Without loss of generality, we assume that s = 6. Then
m′1 = (26212 · · · 26k)(26k+1026k+16 · · · 26k+6`−2),
m′2 = (212 · · · 26k)(26k+1026k+16 · · · 26k+6`−226k+6`+4).
Let m = m1m2 be a dominant monomial, where mi ∈ χq(m′i), i = 1, 2. Denote by m3 =
26k+1026k+16 · · · 26k+6`+4. If m2 ∈ χq(212 · · · 26k)(χq(m3)−m3), then m = m1m2 is right negative
and hence m is not dominant. Therefore m2 ∈ χq(212 · · · 26k)m3.
Suppose that m2 ∈ M (L(m′2)) ∩M (χq(212 · · · 26k−6)(χq(26k) − 26k)m3). By the FM al-
gorithm for L(m′2) and Lemma 3.1, m2 must have a factor 2−1
6k+6 or 1−1
6k+7 or 2−1
6k+8. By
Lemma 3.1, m1 does not have the factors 26k+6 and 26k+8. Therefore m2 cannot have fac-
tors 2−1
6k+6 and 2−1
6k+8 since m = m1m2 is dominant. Hence 1−1
6k+7 is a factor of m2. Since
m = m1m2 is dominant, we need to cancel 1−1
6k+7 using a factor in m1. By Lemma 3.1, the
only possible way to cancel 1−1
6k+7 by m1 is to use the factor 16k+516k+716k+92−1
6k+82−1
6k+10 or
16k+516k+71−1
6k+112−1
6k+8 of m1 coming from χq(26k). Since 2−1
6k+8 cannot be canceled by any
monomials in χq(26212 · · · 26k−6), we have the factor 2−1
6k+8 in m = m1m2 and hence m is not
dominant. Therefore m2 ∈M (L(212 · · · 26k−6))26km3. By the FM algorithm, m2 = m′2.

Suppose that m1 is a non-highest monomial in the above set. Since the non-highest monomials
in χq(26 · · · 26k) are right-negative, we need cancellations of factors with negative powers of
some monomial in χq(26 · · · 26k) with 26k+1016k+1116k+13 · · · 16k+6`+3. The only cancellation can
happen is to cancel 26k+10 or 16k+11. Since 12
6k+9 does not appear in χq(26 · · · 26k), 16k+11 cannot
be canceled. Therefore we need a cancellation with 26k+10. The only monomials in χq(26 · · · 26k)
which can cancel 26k+10 is in one of the following polynomials

If m1 is in (5.4), then we need to cancel 1−1

6k+4 which cannot be
canceled by any monomials in χq(26 · · · 26k−12) or by m′2. Hence m1 is not in (5.4).
Ifm1 is in (5.5), then we need to cancel 2−1
6k+8. But 2−1
6k+8 cannot be canceled by any monomials
in χq(26 · · · 26k−6) or by m′2. Therefore m1 is not in (5.5). Hence m1 is in (5.3).
If m1 is the highest monomial in (5.3) with respect to ≤ defined in (2.7), then m1m

Lemma 5.2. Let [S] be the last summand in one of the relations (3.4)–(3.11). Then S is special.

If m2 is in

By Lemma 3.1, the factor 2−1

s+6r+9 cannot be canceled. Hence m2 is not in (5.6). Thus m2 must be in

Since the non-highest monomials in χq(n1) are right-negative, we need a cancellation with

5.3 Proof of Theorem 3.4
By Lemmas 5.1 and 5.2, the dominant monomials in the q-characters of the left hand side and
of the right hand side of every relation in Theorem 3.4 are the same. The theorem follows.
6 Proof of Theorem 3.5
By Lemma 5.2, S is special and hence irreducible. Therefore we only have to show that T ⊗B is
irreducible. It suffices to prove that for each non-highest dominant monomial M in T ⊗ B, we
have M (L(M)) 6⊂M (T ⊗ B). The idea is similar as in [10, 18, 21]. Recall that the dominant
monomials in T ⊗ B are described by Lemma 5.1.
Lemma 6.1. We consider the same cases as in Lemma 5.1. In each case Mi are the dominant
monomials described by that lemma.

24 J.R. Li and E. Mukhin
Proposition 7.1. The module B̃(0)
3,1 = L(101214211) is not special.
Proof. Suppose that L(101214211) is special. Then the FM algorithm applies to L(101214211).
Therefore, by the FM algorithm, the monomials
101214211, 10121−1
6 25211, 101−1
4 1−1
6 2325211, 1−1

10 25211, 1−1
6 1−1
8 1−1
10 22
5211, 25
are in M (L(101214211)). Hence M (L(101214211)) has at least two dominant monomials
101214211 and 25. This contradicts the assumption that L(101214211) is special. �
Theorem 7.2. The modules B̃(s)

k,` , s ∈ Z, k, l,∈ Z≥0 are anti-special.
Proof. This theorem can be proved using the dual arguments of the proof of Theorem 3.3. �
Lemma 7.3. Let ι : ZP → ZP be a homomorphism of rings such that Y1,aqs 7→ Y −1
1,aq12−s

for all a ∈ C×, s ∈ Z. Then

(s)
k,` , C
(s)
k,` , D
(s)
k,`, E
(s)
k,` , F
(s)
k,` . Then χq(m̃+) can be computed by the
FM algorithm starting from the lowest weight using Ai,a with i ∈ I, a ∈ C×. The procedure is
dual to the computation of χq(m+) which starts from m+ using A−1
i,a with i ∈ I, a ∈ C×. The
highest (resp. lowest) l-weight in χq(m+) is sent to the lowest (resp. highest) l-weight in χq(m̃+)
by ι. �
Note that Lemma 7.3 can also proved using the Cartan involution in [1].

Moreover, the modules corresponding to each summand on the right hand side of the above

Proof. We check the initial conditions, namely dimensions of B(s)
0,1, B(s)
1,0. We check the dimen-
sions are compatible with relations (3.1), (3.2), (3.3). We directly check that the formulas satisfy
the relations in Theorems 3.4. For the checks we employed the computer algebra system Maple.
The theorem follows since the solution of the extended T -system is unique, see Proposi-
tion 3.6. �
