Abstract
We give a uniform description of the bijection \(\Phi \) from rigged configurations to tensor products of Kirillov–Reshetikhin crystals of the form \(\bigotimes _{i=1}^N B^{r_i,1}\) in dual untwisted types: simply-laced types and types \(A_{2n-1}^{(2)}\), \(D_{n+1}^{(2)}\), \(E_6^{(2)}\), and \(D_4^{(3)}\). We give a uniform proof that \(\Phi \) is a bijection and preserves statistics. We describe \(\Phi \) uniformly using virtual crystals for all remaining types, but our proofs are type-specific. We also give a uniform proof that \(\Phi \) is a bijection for \(\bigotimes _{i=1}^N B^{r_i,s_i}\) when \(r_i\), for all i, map to 0 under an automorphism of the Dynkin diagram. Furthermore, we give a description of the Kirillov–Reshetikhin crystals \(B^{r,1}\) using tableaux of a fixed height \(k_r\) depending on r in all affine types. Additionally, we are able to describe crystals \(B^{r,s}\) using \(k_r \times s\) shaped tableaux that are conjecturally the crystal basis for Kirillov–Reshetikhin modules for various nodes r.

Notes
Our results also include type \(A_n^{(1)}\), where we instead have \(B^{1,1} \otimes B^{n,1}\) as the atomic object.
A map for when the left factor is \(B^{2,1}\) of type \(E_6^{(1)}\) was conjectured in [4].
Note that if \(\ell _{j-1} = 1\) and there exists a singular row of length 1, then we would not be in this case as \(i_a = 1 < \max \{\ell _{j-1},2\} = 2\).
Recall that \(\delta _r^{\star }\) in [89], where it was denoted by \({\text {rh}}\), was defined by removing the rightmost factor (and then going to the highest weight element) in contrast to our definition of conjugating the left factor removal by \(\star \). However, these definitions are equivalent by [89, Prop. 5.9(5)].
From the definition of \({{\,\mathrm{lb}\,}}\) and that \({{\,\mathrm{lb}\,}}\) preserves vacancy numbers, we can consider \(\widetilde{\delta } \circ {{\,\mathrm{lb}\,}}\) as one operation that is the same as \(\widetilde{\delta }\) except that it begins at \(\nu ^{(r)}\) instead of \(\nu ^{(1)}\).

Appendices
Appendix A: KR tableaux for fundamental weights
In this section, we list the classically highest weight KR tableaux for \(B^{r,1}\) for types \(E_{6,7,8}^{(1)}\), \(E_6^{(2)}\), \(F_4^{(1)}\), and \(G_2^{(1)}\).
Recall that highest weight rigged configurations must have \(0 \le p_i^{(a)}\) for all \((a,i) \in \mathcal {H}_0\). Moreover, all rigged configurations in this section will have \(p_i^{(a)} = 0\) except for possibly one \((b, j) \in \mathcal {H}_0\) where \(p_j^{(b)} = 1\). Therefore we describe the rigged configuration simply by its configuration \(\nu \) and if \(p_i^{(a)} = 1\), then we write the corresponding rigging x as the subscript (x). We also write the column tableau \( \begin{aligned} \hline x_1 &{} x_2 &{} x_3 &{} \cdots &{} x_r \\ \hline \end{aligned}^{t} \) as \([x_1, x_2, x_3, \dotsc , x_r]\).
Example A.1
In type \(E_7^{(1)}\) for \(B^{4,1}\), we denote the rigged configuration
by \((1, 11, 1_{(1)} 1_{(0)}, 1111, 111, 11, 1)\) or more compactly \((1, 1^2, 1^2_{(1,0)}, 1^4, 1^3, 1^2, 1)\).
In the remaining part of this section, we give the KR tableaux for \(B^{r,1}\) for the exceptional types (except for \(r = 4, 5\) in type \(E_8^{(1)}\), which can be generated using SageMath [15]).
