In the papers [4–6] with Masaki Kashiwara, the author introduced the notion of symmetric crystals and presented the Lascoux–Leclerc–Thibon–Ariki-type conjectures for the affine Hecke algebras of type B. Namely, we conjectured that certain composition multiplicities and branching rules for the affine Hecke algebras of type B are described by using the lower global basis of symmetric crystals of
. In the present paper, we prove the existence of crystal bases and global bases of
for any symmetric quantized Kac–Moody algebra by using a geometry of quivers (with a Dynkin diagram involution). This is analogous to George Lusztig's geometric construction of U–v and its lower global basis.
