Factorization of the canonical bases for higher level Fock spaces

The level l Fock space admits canonical bases G_e and G_\infty. They correspond to U_{v}(hat{sl}{e}) and U{v}(sl_{\infty})-module structures. We establish that the transition matrices relating these two bases are unitriangular with coefficients in N[v]. Restriction to the highest weight modules generated by the empty l-partition then gives a natural quantization of a theorem by Geck and Rouquier on the factorization of decomposition matrices which are associated to Ariki-Koike algebras.
