Abstract: In modular representation theory of finite groups, one of the big
mysteries is the structure of tensor products of modules, with the
diagonal group action. In particular, given a module M, we can look
at the tensor powers of M and ask about the asymptotics of how
they decompose. For this purpose, we introduce an new invariant
γ(M) and investigate some of its properties. Namely, we
write cn(M) for the dimension of the non-projective part of
M⊗n, and γG(M) for 1r", where r is the
radius of convergence of the generating function ∑zncn(M).
The properties of the invariant γ(M) are controlled by a
certain infinite dimensional commutative Banach algebra associated
to kG. This is joint work with Peter Symonds. We end with a number
of conjectures and directions for further research.
