Gröbner bases for fusion products (Q6070293)

The authors provide a new approach towards the analysis of the fusion products defined by B. Feigin and S. Loktev in the representation theory of (truncated) current Lie algebras. The fusion product is understood as a degeneration using Gröbner theory of non-commutative algebras and it is outlined a strategy on how to prove a conjecture about the defining relations for the fusion product of two evaluation modules. The paper presents this strategy for the \(\mathfrak{sl}_2(\mathbb C[t])\) case, which results in another proof for the conjecture in this case.
