For the general linear group GZ, the Littlewood-Richardson rule (see [18, 193) gives a method to calculate the decomposition of a tensor product of two irreducible G/,-representations. The aim of this article is to give a generalization of this rule for all simple, simply connected algebraic groups of type A,, B,, C,, D,, G2, and E,. We obtain also partial results for G of type F4, E,, and ES. The restrictions in the last three cases come from the fact that for the formulation of the decomposition rules we need the notion of a standard Young tableau. Such a notion has been developed by Seshadri, Lakshmibai, Musili, and Rajeswari in a series of articles (see [ll, 13, 14, 16]), but not yet for all representations of the last three exceptional groups.The advantage of the notion of a Young tableau developed by Seshadri et al. is that it is independent of the type of the group. For the convenience of the reader not used to this notion we give first a seperate proof for G= SZ, using the classical notion of a standard Young tableau. Of course, for applications the classical notion is much more appropriate. In the Appendix we give a “translation” of the notion of a standard Young tableau in the sense of Seshadri et al. into the classical notion of a Young tableau for G= Sp2,,, and Spin,. In 3.8 we give also such a translation for G= G,. For the other exceptional groups such a translation is not known to the author.
