| Summary: | <p>We study the hive model of gln tensor products, following Knutson, Tao, and Woodward. We define a coboundary category where the tensor product is given by hives and where the associator and commutor are defined using a modified octahedron recurrence. We then prove that this category is equivalent to the category of crystals for the Lie algebra gln. The proof of this equivalence uses a new connection between the octahedron recurrence and the Jeu de Taquin and Schützenberger involution procedures on Young tableaux.</p> |
