  • In a recent paper, the authors introduced the notion of an alternating snake and a corresponding family of finite dimensional modules for the quantum affine algebra associated to $A_n$. We prove that under some restrictions, an alternating snake defines a canonical monoidal category. We prove that this category has finitely many prime objects. As a consequence we prove that the Grothendieck ring is isomorphic to the Grothendieck ring of the category $\mathscr C_ξ$ for a suitable height function. In particular it follows that the special family of alternating snakes provides a monoidal categorification of a cluster algebra of type $A_N$ for a suitable value of $N$.
