Limit representation theory on some classes of representations of abelian groups

Cheng Meng

Abstract

In this paper, we prove some results on the asymptotic behavior arising in the representation theory of modular representations of cyclic groups and syzygies and cosyzygies of the trivial module over abelian $p$-groups. We show that the representation ring of a cyclic $p$-group can be embedded into a real algebra of functions, and that the dimension of the non-projective part of $n$-th tensor power of a direct sum of syzygies and cosyzygies of the trivial module is approximately $Cγ^nn^α$. Using the existence of a non-integer exponent $α$, we answer a question of Benson and Symonds in negative, that is, there is an $Ω$-algebraic module where the dimension of the core of $M^{\otimes n}$ is not eventually recursive.

Abstract

In this paper, we prove some results on the asymptotic behavior arising in the representation theory of modular representations of cyclic groups and syzygies and cosyzygies of the trivial module over abelian -groups. We show that the representation ring of a cyclic -group can be embedded into a real algebra of functions, and that the dimension of the non-projective part of -th tensor power of a direct sum of syzygies and cosyzygies of the trivial module is approximately . Using the existence of a non-integer exponent , we answer a question of Benson and Symonds in negative, that is, there is an -algebraic module where the dimension of the core of is not eventually recursive.
