Rigged configurations and the $\ast$-involution for generalized Kac--Moody algebras

We construct a uniform model for highest weight crystals and $B(\infty)$ for generalized Kac--Moody algebras using rigged configurations. We also show an explicit description of the $\ast$-involution on rigged configurations for $B(\infty)$: that the $\ast$-involution interchanges the rigging and the corigging. We do this by giving a recognition theorem for $B(\infty)$ using the $\ast$-involution. As a consequence, we also characterize $B(λ)$ as a subcrystal of $B(\infty)$ using the $\ast$-involution.
