Abstract

We identify the Grothendieck group of certain direct sum of singular blocks of the highest weight category for sl with the n-th tensor power of the fundamental sl-module. The action of U) is given by projective functors and the commuting action of the Temperley-Lieb algebra by Zuckerman functors. Indecomposable projective functors correspond to Lusztig canonical basis in U). In the dual realization the n-th tensor power of the fundamental representation is identified with a direct sum of parabolic blocks of the highest weight category. Translation across the wall functors act as generators of the Temperley-Lieb algebra while Zuckerman functors act as generators of U).
