Description (last modified by nthiery)

This patch let the crystal code use the category framework

New crystal categories:

together with a template in categories/example/crystals on how to implement a new crystal.

The files

  • combinat/crystals/letters.py
  • combinat/crystals/tensor_product.py
  • combinat/crystals/spins.py
  • combinat/crystals/fast_crystals.py
  • combinat/crystals/highest_weight_crystals.py
  • combinat/crystals/direct_sum.py
  • combinat/crystals/affine.py
  • combinat/crystals/kirillov_reshetikhin.py

have been categorified. What was before in

  • combinat/crystals

is now mostly in the various categories except for the BackTracker? class and the documentation about crystals.

This patch breaks old crystal pickles. Well, those were actually silently broken since #7978 four months ago, and no-one voted for against this on sage-combinat-devel.

Depends on #8881. Requires updating Sage's pickle jar.

This is the pickle jar from sage-4.4.2 (and most likely sage-4.4.3), with the crystal pickles updated

Nicolas set a positive review on this provided that the old crystal pickle jars can be replaced by new ones (nobody seemed to complain that they needed the old ones, see
