This paper presents an interpretation for the Littlewood-Richardson coefficients in terms of a system of quantum particles. Our approach is based on a certain scattering matrix that satisfies a Yang-Baxter-type equation. The corresponding piecewise-linear transformations of parameters give a solution to the tetrahedron equation. These transformation maps are naturally related to the dual canonical bases for modules over the quantum enveloping algebra Uq(sln). A byproduct of our construction is an explicit description for Kashiwara’s parametrizations of dual canonical bases. This solves a problem posed by Berenstien and Zelevinsky. We present a graphical interpretation of the scattering matrices in terms of web functions, which are related to honeycombs of Knutson and Tao. The aim of this paper is to further investigate the Grothendieck ring KN of polynomial representations of the general linear group GL(N). Let Vλ be the irreducible representation of GL(N) with highest weight λ.The structure constants c ν of the Grothendieck ring in the basis of irreducible representations are given by
