Given a tuple (X1,...,Xk) of irreducible characters of GLn(Fq) we define a star-shaped quiver Γ together with a dimension vector v. Assume that (X1,...,Xk) is generic. Our first result is a formula which expresses the multiplicity of the trivial character in the tensor product X1⊗⋯⊗Xk as the trace of the action of some Weyl group on the intersection cohomology of some (non-affine) quiver varieties associated to (Γ,v). The existence of such a quiver variety is subject to some condition. Assuming that this condition is satisfied, we prove our second result: The multiplicity 〈X1⊗⋯⊗Xk,1〉 is non-zero if and only if v is a root of the Kac–Moody algebra associated with Γ. This is somehow similar to the connection between Horn's problem and the representation theory of GLn(C).
