[Abstract-pdf]

For a complex simple Lie algebra of type $A$, given a family of elements $f_\lambda\in \Z[\Lambda]$, $\lambda\in \Lambda^+$, we show that $f_\lambda$ is just the formal character of the Weyl module $V(\lambda)$ if $f_\lambda$ satisfies two natural conditions.

Keywords: Formal characters, tensor product, Weyl modules.
