The Littlewood-Richardson rule to decompose the tensor product of two irreducible \(\text{sl}(n,\mathbb C)\)-modules into irreducible components is well-known. In this paper, for a symmetrizable Kac-Moody Lie algebra \({\mathfrak g}\), the author has obtained a Littlewood-Richardson type rule to decompose the tensor product of two integrable highest weight \({\mathfrak g}\)-modules into irreducible components using certain piecewise linear paths which he names Lakshmibai-Seshadri paths. As applications of this decomposition rule, (1) he has given another proof of the well-known PRV conjecture and, (2) he has obtained a branching rule for the restriction of the integrable highest weight \({\mathfrak g}\)-module to a Levi subalgebra of \({\mathfrak g}\) in terms of the Lakshmibai-Seshadri paths.
