Polynomial dimension-and-frequency conjecture for representations of general linear groups over local rings

About 2 years old · traced to

Let O\mathfrak{O} be the set of rings which are the valuation ring of a non-Archimedean local field, up to isomorphism. Fix integers n,r≥1n,r\geq 1, and let Irr⁡(G)\operatorname{Irr}(G) denote the irreducible complex representations of a group GG up to isomorphism. For o∈O\mathfrak{o}\in\mathfrak{O}, write or=o/pr\mathfrak{o}_r=\mathfrak{o}/\mathfrak{p}^r and o1=o/p\mathfrak{o}_1=\mathfrak{o}/\mathfrak{p}.

Polynomial dimension-and-frequency conjecture. There exist k≥1k\geq 1, polynomials

d1(x),…,dk(x)∈Z[x]∖{0},m1(x),…,mk(x)∈Q[x]∖{0},d_1(x),\dots,d_k(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[x]\setminus\{0\},\qquad m_1(x),\dots,m_k(x)\in\mathbb{Q}[x]\setminus\{0\},

and, for every o∈O\mathfrak{o}\in\mathfrak{O} and i∈{1,…,k}i\in\{1,\dots,k\}, subsets Ri,o⊆Irr⁡(GLn(or))\mathcal{R}_{i,\mathfrak{o}}\subseteq\operatorname{Irr}(\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathfrak{o}_r)) such that

⋃i=1kRi,o=Irr⁡(GLn(or))\bigcup_{i=1}^k\mathcal{R}_{i,\mathfrak{o}}=\operatorname{Irr}(\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathfrak{o}_r))

is a disjoint union, with

  1. for all ρ∈Ri,o\rho\in\mathcal{R}_{i,\mathfrak{o}}, dim⁡ρ=di(∣o1∣)\dim\rho=d_i(|\mathfrak{o}_1|); and
  2. ∣Ri,o∣=mi(∣o1∣)|\mathcal{R}_{i,\mathfrak{o}}|=m_i(|\mathfrak{o}_1|).

This is the more precise restatement proposed by the authors of Onn's conjecture that representation dimensions and their frequencies are polynomial in the residue-field cardinality. The source gives no evidence resolving it.
