Products of Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules and maximal green sequences

Abstract

We show that a $q$-character of a Kirillov-Reshetikhin module (KR modules) for untwisted quantum affine algebras of simply laced types $A_n^{(1)}$, $D_n^{(1)}$, $E_6^{(1)}$, $E_7^{(1)}$, $E_8^{(1)}$ might be obtained from a specific cluster variable of a seed obtained by applying a maximal green sequence to the initial (infinite) quiver of the Hernandez-Leclerc cluster algebra. For a collection of KR-modules with nested supports, we show an explicit construction of a cluster seed, which has cluster variables corresponding to the $q$-characters of KR-modules of such a collection. We prove that the product of KR-modules of such a collection is a simple module. We also construct cluster seeds with cluster variables corresponding to $q$-characters of KR-modules of some non-nested collections. We make a conjecture that tensor products of KR-modules for such non-nested collections are simple. We show that the cluster Donaldson-Thomas transformations for double Bruhat cells for $ADE$ types can be computed using $q$-characters of KR-modules.
