Abstract: Let $mathbfG$ be either a simple linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $ell>0$ or a quantum group at an $ell$-th root of unity. We define a tensor ideal of singular $mathbfG$-modules in the category $mathrmRep(mathbfG)$ of finite-dimensional $mathbfG$-modules and study the associated quotient category $mathrmunderlineRep(mathbfG)$, called the regular quotient. Our main results are a 'linkage principle' and a 'translation principle' for tensor products: Let $mathrm{underlineRep}_0(mathbfG)$ be the essential image in $mathrmunderlineRep(mathbfG)$ of the principal block of $mathrmRep(mathbfG)$. We first show that $mathrm{underlineRep}_0(mathbfG)$ is closed under tensor products in $mathrmunderlineRep(mathbfG)$. Then we prove that the monoidal structure of $mathrmunderlineRep(mathbfG)$ is governed to a large extent by the monoidal structure of $mathrm{underlineRep}_0(mathbfG)$. These results can be combined to give an external tensor product decomposition $$, where $mathrmVer(mathbfG)$ denotes the Verlinde category of $mathbfG$.
