Abstract

In the present paper we show that Hall algebras of finitary exact categories behave like quantum groups in the sense that they are generated by indecomposable objects. Moreover, for a large class of such categories, Hall algebras are generated by their primitive elements, with respect to the natural comultiplication, even for non-hereditary categories. Finally, we introduce certain primitively generated subalgebras of Hall algebras and conjecture an analogue of "Lie correspondence" for those finitary categories.

36 pages, AMSLaTeX+AMSRefs; introduced multiplicity for elements of Grothendieck monoid; they play the role of root multiplicities in Kac-Moody algebras due to a reformulation of Kac conjecture (see Theorem 1.9)
