Dimensions of Higher Extensions for SL₂

Abstract: We analyse the recursive formula found for various Ext groups for

S L_{2} (k)

,

k

a field of characteristic

p

, and derive various generating functions for these groups. We use this to show that the growth rate for the cohomology of

S L_{2} (k)

is at least exponential. In particular,

m a x d i m E x t_{S L_{2} (k)}^{i} (k, D e l t a (a)) m i d a, i i n N

has (at least) exponential growth for all

p

. We also show that

m a x d i m E x t_{S L_{2} (k)}^{i} (k, D e l t a (a)) m i d a i n N

for a fixed

i

is bounded.
