Review text

Let \(V\) be a finite dimensional representation of the reductive group \(G\). For instance, let \(V\) be the \(n\)-qubit representation \(\mathbb{C}^2\otimes\cdots\otimes\mathbb{C}^2\) (\(n\) factors) on which \(G=\text{SL}_2\times\cdots\times\text{SL}_2\) (also \(n\) factors) acts in the obvious way. The authors study the nullcone in \(V^{\oplus k}\) as \(k\) gets large. They show that the number of components of this nullcone stabilizes as \(k\) gets large. The problem is then to determine this number in examples. Full answers are found for 3-qubits and for 4-qubits. For 4-qubits one exploits that \(G\) may be viewed as the subgroup fixed by a certain involution \(\theta\) of \(\text{SO}_4\times\text{SO}_4\).
