Crystal Structure on the Category of Modules over Colored Planar Rook Algebra

Colored planar rook algebra is a semigroup algebra in which the basis element has a diagrammatic description. The category of finite dimensional modules over this algebra is completely reducible and suitable functors are defined on this category so that it admits a crystal structure in the sense of Kashiwara. We show that the category and functors categorify the crystal bases for the polynomial representations of quantized enveloping algebra $U_q(g{l}_{n+1})$.
