title: Canonical bases in tensor products.
abstract: I construct a canonical basis in the tensor product of a simple integrable highest weight module with a simple integrable lowest weight module of a quantized enveloping algebra. This basis is simultaneously compatible with many submodules of the tensor product. As an application, I obtain a construction of a canonical basis of (a modified form of) the quantized enveloping algebra.
