Asymptotic Clifford–symplectic Howe-type duality

About 4 years old · traced to

Fix tt and let nn be sufficiently large. Let C1tC_{\mathbf{1}_t} be the code space appearing in the construction, let T′T' be the associated symplectic space, let Sp(T′)\mathrm{Sp}(T') be its symplectic group, let O(V)\mathrm{O}(V) be the orthogonal group acting on VV, and let RCl\mathrm{RCl} be the real Clifford group. Write Irr(G)\mathrm{Irr}(G) for the set of irreducible representations of a group GG. Asymptotic Clifford–symplectic duality. There exists a subspace L⊂C1t\mathcal{L}\subset C_{\mathbf{1}_t} such that

dim C1t−dim Ldim C1t=o(exp⁡(−n)),\frac{\mathrm{dim}\, C_{\mathbf{1}_t}-\mathrm{dim}\,\mathcal{L}}{\mathrm{dim}\, C_{\mathbf{1}_t}}=o(\exp(-n)),

and an injective function

θ:Irr Sp(T′)→Irr O(V)⊂Irr RCl\theta:\mathrm{Irr}\,\mathrm{Sp}(T')\to\mathrm{Irr}\,\mathrm{O}(V)\subset\mathrm{Irr}\,\mathrm{RCl}

such that, as an Sp(T′)×RCl\mathrm{Sp}(T')\times\mathrm{RCl}-representation,

L≃⨁τ∈Irr Sp(T′)τ⊗θ(τ).\mathcal{L}\simeq\bigoplus_{\tau\in\mathrm{Irr}\,\mathrm{Sp}(T')}\tau\otimes\theta(\tau).

This asserts an asymptotically full subspace carrying a multiplicity-free duality between the symplectic and real Clifford representation theories. The surrounding discussion motivates it by the asymptotic count of orthogonal-group orbits, but the supplied text gives no resolution evidence, so it remains open.
