Abstract

We define the crystal algebra, an algebra which has a base of elements of crystal bases of a quantum group. The multiplication is defined by the tensor product rule of crystal bases. A universal n-colored crystal algebra is defined. We study the relation between those algebras and the tensor algebras of the crystal algebra of Uq(sl(2)) and give a presentation by generators and relations for the case of Uq(sl(n)).
