Abstract

Let \fg\fg be a symmetrizable Kac-Moody Lie algebra with the standard Cartan subalgebra \fh\fh and the Weyl group WW. Let P+P_+ be the set of dominant integral weights. For λP+\lambda \in P_+, let L(λ)L(\lambda) be the irreducible, integrable, highest weight representation of \fg\fg with highest weight λ\lambda. For a positive integer ss, define the {\em saturated tensor semigroup} as \begin{align*} \Gamma_s:= \{(\lambda_1, \dots, \lambda_s,\mu)\in P_+^{s+1}: \exists\, N>1 \,\,\text{with}\,\, L(N\mu)\subset L(N\lambda_1)\otimes \dots \otimes L(N\lambda_s)\}. \end{align*} The aim of this paper is to begin a systematic study of Γs\Gamma_s in the infinite dimensional symmetrizable Kac-Moody case. In this paper, we produce a set of necessary inequalities satisfied by Γs\Gamma_s. We further prove that any integer d>0d>0 is a saturation factor for A1(1)A^{(1)}_1 and 4 is a saturation factor for A2(2)A^{(2)}_2.
