Abstract: The deep theory of approximate subgroups establishes 3-step product growth for subsets of finite simple groups $G$ of Lie type of bounded rank. In this paper we obtain 2-step growth results for representations of such groups $G$ (including those of unbounded rank), where products of subsets are replaced by tensor products of representations. Let $G$ be a finite simple group of Lie type and $chi$ a character of $G$. Let $|chi|$ denote the sum of the squares of the degrees of all (distinct) irreducible characters of $G$ which are constituents of $chi$. We show that for all $delta>0$ there exists $epsilon>0$, independent of $G$, such that if $chi$ is an irreducible character of $G$ satisfying $|chi|le|G{|}^{1-delta}$, then $|ch{i}^2|ge|chi{|}^{1+epsilon}$. We also obtain results for reducible characters, and establish faster growth in the case where $|chi|le|G{|}^{delta}$. In another direction, we explore covering phenomena, namely situations where every irreducible character of $G$ occurs as a constituent of certain products of characters. For example, we prove that if $|ch{i}_1|cdots|ch{i}_m|$ is a high enough power of $|G|$, then every irreducible character of $G$ appears in $ch{i}_{1}cdotsch{i}_m$. Finally, we obtain growth results for compact semisimple Lie groups.
