Benson's quasi-polynomial conjecture for tensor powers

Let VV be an odd-dimensional indecomposable representation of a finite 22-group GG over an algebraically closed field k\Bbbk of characteristic 22. Assuming the relevant tensor powers have a unique odd-dimensional indecomposable summand, denote that summand in VnV^{\otimes n} by VnV_n and define PV(n)=dim(Vn)P_V(n)=\dim(V_n). Benson's tensor-powers conjecture. The function PVP_V is quasi-polynomial: there exist polynomials f0,f1,,fm1f_0,f_1,\dots,f_{m-1} such that PV(n)=fi(n)P_V(n)=f_i(n) whenever ni(modm)n\equiv i\pmod m. This conjecture is proved in the paper for several monomial representations, while it remains open in general.
