Abstract

Let KK be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 22, GG be the algebraic group SL2\mathrm{SL}_2 over KK, and VV be the natural representation of GG. Let bkG,Vb_k^{G,V} denote the number of GG-indecomposable factors of VkV^{\otimes k}, counted with multiplicity, and let δ=32log32log2\delta = \frac 32 - \frac{\log 3}{2\log 2}. Then there exists a smooth multiplicatively periodic function ω(x)\omega(x) such that b2kG,V=b2k+1G,Vb_{2k}^{G,V} = b_{2k+1}^{G,V} is asymptotic to ω(k)kδ4k\omega(k) k^{-\delta}4^k. We also prove a lower bound of the form cWkδ(dimW)kc_W k^{-\delta}(\dim W)^k for bkG,Wb_k^{G,W} for any tilting representation WW of GG.
