Abstract: Suppose that we have a semisimple, connected, simply connected algebraic group

G

with corresponding Lie algebra

m a t h f r a k g

. There is a Hopf pairing between the universal enveloping algebra

U (m a t h f r a k g)

and the coordinate ring

O (G)

. By introducing a parameter

q

, we can consider quantum deformations

U_{q} (m a t h f r a k g)

and

O_{q} (G)

respectively, between which there again exists a Hopf pairing. We show that the category of crystals associated with

U_{q} (m a t h f r a k g)

is a monoidal category. We define subgroups of

U_{q} (m a t h f r a k g)

to be right coideal subalgebras, and subgroups of

O_{q} (G)

to be quotient left

O_{q} (G)

-module coalgebras. Furthermore, we discuss a categorical approach to subgroups of quantum groups which we hope will provide us with a link to crystal basis theory.
