We prove that, for simple modules $M$ and $N$ over a quantum affine algebra, their tensor product $M \otimes N$ has a simple head and a simple socle if $M \otimes M$ is simple. A similar result is proved for the convolution product of…

Let $S_1, \cdots, S_N$ simple finite-dimensional modules of a quantum affine algebra. We prove that if $S_i\otimes S_j$ is cyclic for any $i < j$ (i.e. generated by the tensor product of the highest weight vectors), then $S_1\otimes \cdots…

We determine the representation-finiteness of $A\otimes B$, where both $A$ and $B$ are simply connected algebras with at least three simple modules.

Let ${\bf G}$ be a connected reductive algebraic group defined over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with $q$ elements. We propose some conjectures concerning the simple quotients of $M\otimes N$, where $M,N$ are objects in the…

We consider typical finite dimensional complex irreducible representations of a basic classical simple Lie superalgebra, and give a sufficient condition on when unique factorization of finite tensor products of such representations hold. We…

We verify a conjecture of Etingof and Ostrik, stating that an algebra object in a finite tensor category is exact if and only if it is a finite direct product of simple algebras. Towards that end, we introduce an analogue of the Jacobson…

We prove that the tensor product of a simple and a finite dimensional $\mathfrak{sl}_n$-module has finite type socle. This is applied to reduce classification of simple $\mathfrak{q}(n)$-supermodules to that of simple…

We define a unital algebra $A$ over a field $\mathbb{F}$ to be nearly simple if $A$ contains a unique non-trivial ideal $I_A$ such that $I_A^2 \neq \{0\}$. If $A$ and $B$ are two nearly simple algebras, we consider the ideal structure of…

We show that a tensor product of irreducible, finite dimensional representations of a simple Lie algebra over a field of characteristic zero, determines the individual constituents uniquely. This is analogous to the uniqueness of prime…

We study finite-dimensional representations of quantum affine algebras using q-characters. We prove the conjectures from math.QA/9810055 and derive some of their corollaries. In particular, we prove that the tensor product of fundamental…

We study certain monoidal subcategories (introduced by David Hernandez and Bernard Leclerc) of finite--dimensional representations of a quantum affine algebra of type $A$. We classify the set of prime representations in these subcategories…

We present a conjecture on the irreducibility of the tensor products of fundamental representations of quantized affine algebras. This conjecture implies in particular that the irreducibility of the tensor products of fundamental…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated group. We prove that the $n$-fold tensor product $G^{\otimes n}$ is finite (resp. polycyclic) if and only $G$ is finite (resp. polycyclic). Further, assuming that $G$ is finitely presented, we show that…

We study a certain family of finite-dimensional simple representations over quantum affine superalgebras associated to general linear Lie superalgebras, the so-called fundamental representations: the denominators of rational $R$-matrices…

We define an action of the braid group (associated with a simple Lie algebra) on the space of $n$-tuples of power series in an indeterminate u, with constant term zero. Using this, we give a sufficient condition for a tensor product of…

Let A be a central simple algebra over a field F. Let k_1,\ldots, k_r be cyclic extensions of F such that k_1\otimes_F\cdots \otimes_F k_r is a field. We investigate conditions under which A is a tensor product of symbol algebras where each…

A C*-tensor category with simple unit object is realized by von Neumann algebra bimodules of finite Jones index if and only if it is rigid.

A semisimple algebraic tensor category over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic zero is the representation category of all finite dimensional twisted super representations of an affine reductive supergroup G over k. Such a…

Starting from an abelian category A such that every object has only finitely many subobjects we construct a semisimple tensor category T. We show that T interpolates the categories Rep(Aut(p),K) where p runs through certain projective…

We review some important facts about the structure of tensor products of finite dimensional representations of quantum affine algebras. This is done from the elementary standpoint of the representation theory of semisimple Lie algebras in…
