contents Let $B(Λ_a) \, (a=0,1)$ be the crystal of the level 1 integrable irreducible highest weight representation of the affine quantum group $U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)$. We consider the crystal graphs of degree $n$ associated with the irreducible $(2r+1)$-dimensional (resp. $(2r+2)$-dimensional) $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ module in $B(Λ_0)$ (resp. $B(Λ_1)$). In this paper, we construct an explicit combinatorial procedure providing a bijection between the set of highest weight paths in these graphs with respect to the action of the Kashiwara operator $\tilde{f}_{1}$, and the set of integer partitions of $n$ with sqrank (resp. rerank) $r$, which is a recently introduced partition statistic. As a byproduct, we also obtain a precise interpretation of the motif description of spinons suggested by Bernard-Pasquier-Serban in the spinon picture for Wess-Zumino-Witten conformal field theory models.

Let $B(Λ_a) \, (a=0,1)$ be the crystal of the level 1 integrable irreducible highest weight representation of the affine quantum group $U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)$. We consider the crystal graphs of degree $n$ associated with the irreducible $(2r+1)$-dimensional (resp. $(2r+2)$-dimensional) $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ module in $B(Λ_0)$ (resp. $B(Λ_1)$). In this paper, we construct an explicit combinatorial procedure providing a bijection between the set of highest weight paths in these graphs with respect to the action of the Kashiwara operator $\tilde{f}_{1}$, and the set of integer partitions of $n$ with sqrank (resp. rerank) $r$, which is a recently introduced partition statistic.
