We study the asymptotic size of decompositions of tensor powers of tilting modules for quantum groups (mostly at a complex root of unity). In type A1 we obtain a sharp result for the number of indecomposable summands, explained by a one…

In this article, we consider the tensor product of two simple modules of quanum $GL_2$ over a field of characteristic $p\neq 0$. We show that it can be expressed as a direct sum of indecomposable twisted tilting modules. This problem has…
