The Frobenius tower of an object #
The tensor powers of a single object in a rigid symmetric ℂ-linear
category, with the symmetric-group action permuting the factors and
the categorical trace, form a Frobenius tower. Everything the tower
asks for has been assembled: the representations are permAlg,
vanishing propagates by permAlg_compat, the traces are
scalarTrace, the tensor-power maps are powHom, and the Frobenius
identity comes from the cycle-type formula for the trace of a
permutation against a tensor power.
The Frobenius identity #
The Frobenius trace identity for the tensor powers of an object: the trace of a Young idempotent against a tensor power is the block dimension times the Schur specialization of the power traces. Expanding the idempotent turns the left side into a character-weighted sum of permutation traces, and the cycle-type formula turns each of those into the cycle product the classical Frobenius formula sums.
The tower #
The Frobenius tower of an object: the tensor powers of X,
with the symmetric-group action permuting the factors, the tensor
powers of an endomorphism, and the categorical trace read as a
complex number.

The theorems of the appendix, for an object #
The nilpotent-trace theorem for an object: in a rigid
symmetric ℂ-linear category with scalar unit endomorphisms, if the
tensor powers of X have finite-dimensional endomorphism algebras
of exponentially bounded dimension, then every nilpotent
endomorphism of X has vanishing categorical trace.
The trace-zeta theorem for an object (the accompanying
paper, Corollary A.2): for an object whose tensor powers have
endomorphism dimensions bounded by A₀ ^ n, and for every integer
s > 2e√A₀, the trace zeta function of every endomorphism is P/Q
with P and Q coprime, of constant term 1, and of degree at
most s − 1.
The reduced super-spectrum form of Corollary A.2 for an object: for
every integer s > 2e√A₀ the power traces are a difference of power
sums of two disjoint multisets of nonzero complex numbers, each of
size at most s − 1.
