We use Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier (KLR) algebras to categorify a crystal isomorphism between a funda-mental crystal and the tensor product of a Kirillov-Reshetikhin crystal and another fundamental crystal, all in affine type. The nodes of the Kirillov-Reshetikhin crystal correspond to a family of “trivial” modules. The nodes of the fun-damental crystal correspond to simple modules of the corresponding cyclotomic KLR algebra. The crystal operators correspond to socle of restriction and behave compatibly with the rule for tensor product of crystal graphs.
