The crystal structure on the set of Mirkovi?-Vilonen polytopes

In an earlier work, we proved that MV polytopes parameterize both Lusztig's canonical basis and the Mirkovi?-Vilonen cycles on the affine Grassmannian. Each of these sets has a crystal structure (due to Kashiwara-Lusztig on the canonical basis side and due to Braverman-Finkelberg-Gaitsgory on the MV cycles side). We show that these two crystal structures agree. As an application, we consider a conjecture of Anderson-Mirkovi? which describes the BFG crystal structure on the level of MV polytopes. We prove their conjecture for sln and give a counterexample for sp₆. Finally we explain how Kashiwara data can be recovered from MV polytopes.
