Abstract

Let GG be the special linear group of degree 22 over an algebraically closed field KK. Let EE be the natural module and SrES^rE the rrth symmetric power. We consider here, for r,s0r,s\geq 0, the tensor product of SrES^rE and the dual of SsES^sE. In characteristic zero this tensor product decomposes according to the Clebsch-Gordan formula. We consider here the situation when KK is a field of positive characteristic. We show that each indecomposable component occurs with multiplicity one and identify which modules occur for given rr and ss.
