Abstract

We give asymptotic formulas for the multiplicities of weights and irreducible summands in high-tensor powers Vλ ⊗N of an irreducible representation Vλ of a compact connected Lie group G. The weights are allowed to depend on N, and we obtain several regimes of pointwise asymptotics, ranging from a central limit region to a large deviations region. We use a complex steepest descent method that applies to general asymptotic counting problems for lattice paths with steps in a convex polytope.
