algebra / Representation theory: tensor product multiplicities and saturation

The Kapovich-Millson saturation conjecture for simply laced groups, type D: tensor saturation for Spin(2n)\mathrm{Spin}(2n)

Theorem 1.1: for G=Spin(2n)G=\mathrm{Spin}(2n), n≥2n\ge2, and dominant integral λ,μ,ν\lambda,\mu,\nu with λ+μ+ν∈Q(Dn)\lambda+\mu+\nu\in Q(D_n), and every positive integer NN, (V(λ)⊗V(μ)⊗V(ν))G≠0(V(\lambda)\otimes V(\mu)\otimes V(\nu))^G\ne0 if and only if (V(Nλ)⊗V(Nμ)⊗V(Nν))G≠0(V(N\lambda)\otimes V(N\mu)\otimes V(N\nu))^G\ne0. This settles the type-D part of the simply laced saturation conjecture, extending the known cases Spin(8),Spin(10),Spin(12)\mathrm{Spin}(8),\mathrm{Spin}(10),\mathrm{Spin}(12). Not shown: the exceptional types E6,E7,E8E_6,E_7,E_8, non-simply-laced groups, or any statement about multiplicities beyond nonvanishing.
