Given a commutative noetherian ring $R$ and a finite acyclic quiver $Q$, we study the tensor triangulated category $\mathcal{D}(RQ)$ endowed with the vertexwise tensor product. We find a description of the internal hom functor and show that…

Let $\mathbf{U}$ be a quantum group of symmetric type. We introduce the {\it thickening realization} to realize (a suitable approximation of) the tensor product ${^{\omega}\Lambda_{\lambda_1}}\otimes \Lambda_{\lambda_2}$ of a simple…

Morphisms between tensor products of fundamental representations of the quantum group of sl(n) are described by the sl(n)-webs of Cautis-Kamnitzer-Morrison. Using these webs, we provide an explicit, root-theoretic formula for the local…

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…

In the first part of the paper we survey several results from Popa's deformation/rigidity theory on the classification of tensor product decompositions of large natural classes of II$_1$ factors. Using a m\'elange of techniques from…

In our previous work, we studied the positive representations of split real quantum groups $\mathcal{U}_{q\tilde{q}}(\mathfrak{g}_\mathbb{R})$ restricted to its Borel part, and showed that they are closed under taking tensor products.…

If $A$ and $B$ are $n$- and $m$-representation finite $k$-algebras, then their tensor product $\Lambda = A\otimes_k B$ is not in general $(n+m)$-representation finite. However, we prove that if $A$ and $B$ are acyclic and satisfy the weaker…
