Perfect basis theory for quantum Borcherds-Bozec algebras

Abstract

In this paper, we develop the perfect basis theory for quantum Borcherds-Bozec algebras $U_{q}(\mathfrak g)$ and their irreducible highest weight modules $V(\lambda)$. We show that the lower perfect graph (resp. upper perfect graph) of every lower perfect basis (resp. upper perfect basis) of $U_{q}^{-}(\mathfrak g)$ (resp. $V(\lambda)$) is isomorphic to the crystal $B(\infty)$ (resp. $B(\lambda)$).
