Etingof's generalized Benson conjecture for semisimplified representation categories
Let be a prime integer, let be a -group, let be a field of characteristic , and let denote the semisimplification of the tensor category of finite-dimensional representations of over . Let be a tensor subcategory of equivalent to for a finite group whose order is coprime to .
Generalized Benson conjecture. Every prime dividing the order of is less than .
This is Etingof's proposed generalization of Benson's conjecture to arbitrary primes, formulated through tensor subcategories of semisimplified representation categories. The supplied text says that the naive assertion that every -representation is -invertible fails for , while the generalized conjecture is presented without a resolution.
