In this paper we study the BGG-categories 𝒪 q associated to quantum groups. We prove that many properties of the ordinary BGG-category 𝒪 for a semisimple complex Lie algebra carry over to the quantum case. Of particular interest is the case when q is a complex root of unity. Here we prove a tensor decomposition for both simple modules, projective modules, and indecomposable tilting modules. Using the known Kazhdan-Lusztig conjectures for 𝒪 and for finite dimensional U q -modules we are able to determine all irreducible characters as well as the characters of all indecomposable tilting modules in 𝒪 q . As a consequence of these results we are able to recover also a known result, namely that the generic quantum case behaves like the classical category 𝒪 .

AB - In this paper we study the BGG-categories $\mathcal {O}_q$ associated to quantum groups. We prove that many properties of the ordinary BGG-category $\mathcal {O}$ for a semisimple complex Lie algebra carry over to the quantum case. Of particular interest is the case when $q$ is a complex root of unity. Here we prove a tensor decomposition for both simple modules, projective modules, and indecomposable tilting modules. Using the known Kazhdan-Lusztig conjectures for $\mathcal {O}$ and for finite dimensional $U_q$-modules we are able to determine all irreducible characters as well as the characters of all indecomposable tilting modules in $\mathcal {O}_q$. As a consequence of these results we are able to recover also a known result, namely that the generic quantum case behaves like the classical category $\mathcal {O}$.
