Maximal nilpotence for higher Verlinde categories

arXiv:2611.14810v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We show that all higher Verlinde categories are maximally nilpotent, as conjectured by Coulembier (2023). By previous results, it suffices to show that non-trivial simple objects have only finitely many non-zero symmetric powers in odd characteristic. We compute the maximal degrees of these non-zero symmetric and exterior powers explicitly, hence confirming their finiteness. We discuss some of the far-reaching consequences.
