Hecke symmetries give rise to a family of graded algebras which represent quantum groups and spaces of noncommutative geometry. The present paper continues the work aiming to understand general properties of these algebras without a restriction on the parameter q of Hecke relation used in earlier results. However, if q is a root of 1, we need a restriction on the indecomposable modules for the Hecke algebras of type A that can occur as direct summands of representations in the tensor powers of the initial vector space V. In this setting, we generalize known results on rationality of Hilbert series. The combinatorial nature of this problem stems from a relationship between the Grothendieck ring of the category of comodules for the Faddeev–Reshetikhin–Takhtajan bialgebra A(R) associated with a Hecke symmetry R and the ring of symmetric functions. We then improve two results on monoidal equivalences of corepresentation categories and on Gorensteinness of graded algebras from a previous article.
