On the category of modules over some semisimple bialgebras

We study the tensor category of modules over a semisimple bialgebra H under the assumption that irreducible H-modules of the same dimension > 1 are isomorphic. We consider properties of Clebsch–Gordan coefficients showing multiplicities of occurrences of each irreducible H-module in a tensor product of irreducible ones. It is shown that, in general, these coefficients cannot have small values.
