If we consider the full subcategory $\\mathcal{T}_n^+$ of $\\mathcal{T}_n$ of indecomposable summands in iterated tensor products of irreducible representations up to parity shifts, its quotient is a semisimple tannakian category $Rep(H_n)$ where $H_n$ is a pro-reductive algebraic group. We determine the connected derived subgroup $G_n \\subset H_n$ and the groups $G_{\\lambda} = (H_{\\lambda})_{der}^0$ corresponding to the tannakian subcategory in $Rep(H_n)$ generated by an irreducible representation $L(\\lambda)$. This gives structural information about the tensor category $Rep(GL(n|n))$, including the decomposition law of a tensor product of irreducible representations up to summands of superdimension zero. Some results are conditional on a hypothesis on $2$-torsion in $\\pi_0(H_n)$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-05-01T15:08:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "17B10", "17B20", "17B55", "18D10", "20G05" ], "keywords": [ "irreducible representation", "general linear supergroups", "classical tensor categories", "tensor category", "semisimple tannakian category" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
