Abstract: One key tool in understanding categories of representations of Lie (super)algebras and quantum groups is how the fun tour of tensor product with finite dimensional representations behaves.  I’ll first explain how my work as well as that of many others has led to a good understanding of this in the type A case, and then say a few words about how we might generalize to BCD types.
