Abstract

We consider the principal subspaces of certain level \(k\geqslant 1\) integrable highest weight modules and generalized Verma modules for the untwisted affine Lie algebras in types D, E and F. Generalizing the approach of G. Georgiev we construct their quasi-particle bases. We use the bases to derive presentations of the principal subspaces, calculate their character formulae and find some new combinatorial identities.

Notes

  1. In contrast with [21] and [23, Table Fin], we reverse the labels in the Dynkin diagram of type \(C_l\) in Fig. 1, so that the root lengths in the sequence \(\alpha _1,\ldots ,\alpha _l\) decrease for all types of \(\mathfrak {g}\), thus getting a simpler formulation of Theorem 3.1.

  2. Note that the quasi-particles of color 1 in type \(E_7\) correspond, with respect to the aforementioned identification, to the quasi-particles of color 7 in type \(E_8\); see Fig. 1.
