Steinberg tensor product conjecture for affine group schemes in the Verlinde category

Let GG be an affine group scheme with reductive even subgroup G0G_0. Call a representation of GG one-irreducible if its restriction to G(1)G_{(1)} is irreducible. A representation inflated from G0G_0 is obtained via the Frobenius inflation functor.

Steinberg tensor product conjecture. Any irreducible representation of GG is uniquely a tensor product of a one-irreducible representation and one inflated from G0G_0.

This conjecture generalizes the theorem proved in the paper for general linear group schemes and is motivated by expected analogues for orthogonal, symplectic, queer, and periplectic groups in the Verlinde category. The paper notes that these broader representation theories have not yet been classified.
