These are the crystals associated with the three spin representations: the spin representations of odd orthogonal groups (or rather their double covers); and the + and - spin representations of the even orthogonal groups.
We follow Kashiwara and Nakashima (Journal of Algebra 165, 1994) in representing the elements of the spin Crystal by sequences of signs +/-. Two other representations are available as attributes internal_repn and signature of the crystal element.
Return the spin crystal of the given type B.
This is a combinatorial model for the crystal with highest weight
(the n-th fundamental weight). It has
elements, here called Spins. See also
CrystalOfLetters, CrystalOfSpinsPlus and CrystalOfSpinsMinus.

True
Bases: sage.combinat.crystals.crystals.ClassicalCrystal
Returns True if and only if there is a path from x to y in the crystal graph.
Because the crystal graph is classical, it is a directed acyclic graph which can be interpreted as a poset. This function implements the comparison function of this poset.

sage: C = CrystalOfSpins(['B',3])
sage: x = C([1,1,1])
sage: y = C([-1,-1,-1])

0
Returns the directed graph associated to self.
