Abstract: We study the fusion rings of tilting modules for a quantum group at a root of unity modulo the tensor ideal of negligible tilting modules. We identify them in type A with the combinatorial rings from [KS] and give a similar description of the sp(2n)-fusion ring in terms of noncommutative symmetric functions. Moreover we give a presentation of all fusion rings in classical types as quotients of polynomial rings extending known results in special cases. Finally we also compute the fusion rings for type G2.


In this paper the authors use tilting modules to study fusion rings for quantum groups at complex roots of unity. In all types, the authors provide an easy method to realize the fusion ring as a quotient of a polynomial ring, in particular, giving an explicit description for generators of the fusion ideal. In types \(A\) and \(C\) this even gives a minimal set of generators, while in other types the situation is more complicated in general. The paper uses crucially the representation theory and combinatorics of affine Weyl groups.
