Abstract. We define three combinatorial models for b sln crystals, parametrized by partitions, configurations of beads on an "abacus", and cylindric plane partitions, respectively. These are reducible, but we can identify an irreducible subcrystal corresponding to any dominant integral highest weight Λ. Cylindric plane partitions actually parametrize a basis for V Λ ⊗ F , where F is the space spanned by partitions. We use this to calculate the partition function for a system of random cylindric plane partitions. We also observe a form of rank level duality. Finally, we use an explicit bijection to relate our work to the Kyoto path model.
