The strong separability conjecture for the tensor-product subgroup

About 20 years old · traced to

Let G=SLn2(C)G=SL_{n^2}(\mathbb{C}) and let H=SLn(C)×SLn(C)H=SL_n(\mathbb{C})\times SL_n(\mathbb{C}) have its natural embedding in SL(Cn⊗Cn)SL(\mathbb{C}^n\otimes\mathbb{C}^n). A subgroup is strongly GG-separable if every relevant nontrivial irreducible HH-module occurs in infinitely many irreducible non-HH-admissible GG-modules. Strong tensor-product separability conjecture. The subgroup

SLn(C)×SLn(C)SL_n(\mathbb{C})\times SL_n(\mathbb{C})

is strongly separable in SLn2(C)SL_{n^2}(\mathbb{C}). Equivalently, for every nontrivial Weyl module Vλ(n)⊗Vμ(n)V_\lambda(n)\otimes V_\mu(n) with ∣λ∣≡∣μ∣(modn)|\lambda|\equiv|\mu|\pmod n, there exist infinitely many Weyl modules Vρ(n2)V_\rho(n^2) whose restriction contains Vλ(n)⊗Vμ(n)V_\lambda(n)\otimes V_\mu(n) but not the trivial module. This strengthens ordinary separability and is reformulated in the paper through symmetric-group tensor-product multiplicities.
