<p>It is a well known fact that the irreducible representations of $SL_2(\mathbb{F}_p)$ over $\overline{\mathbb{F_p}}$ are given by the symmetric powers $Symm^k(V)$, where $V = \overline{\mathbb{F}_p}^2$, for $k$ ranging in $0,\ldots,p-1$. In the case of $GL_2(\mathbb{F}_p)$ irreducible representations are exhausted by:</p> <p>$$\sigma_{k,n} = Symm^k(V) \otimes det^n$$</p> <blockquote> <p>My question is then if there is a systematic way to know which of these irreducible representations appear in higher symmetric powers ($k>p-1$), either for $SL_2$ or $GL_2$?</p> </blockquote> <p>And what about tensor products $Symm^k(V) \otimes Symm^l(V)$? </p>

<p>I've been reading a paper by R.Ramakrishna about lifting Galois representations and at some point he uses the fact that a representation with big image has trivial first cohomology group.</p> <p>In other words, what i've been trying to prove (and failing at) is that given $p>5$ a prime, if $M$ is the group of trace zero $2\times 2$ matrices over $\mathbb{F}_p$ then:</p> <p>$H^1(SL_2(\mathbb{F}_p),M) = 0$</p> <p>where the action is given by conjugation.</p> <p>My first approach was calculating the group $H^1(S_p,M)$, where $S_p$ is a $p$-sylow subgroup of $SL_2(\mathbb{F}_p)$. If it were trivial then the one that I want should be, because $M$ is a $p$-group, but it turns out it's not! (I think it's one dimensional).</p> <p>Maybe there is some cohomological-theoretic reason I'm missing, thanks.</p>

Thanks for the answer! The kind of description that appears in the paper of Glover seems to be enough for the cases I needed.

an irreducible representation?

Thanks for the reference, it's nice to have another way to think about these things. I'll have a look at it.

I think the suggestion works out well, I have to check my calculations but it seems that the restriction to the Borel is trivial. Also added the group theory tag. Thanks.

But in this case all the elements which lie in the center act trivially on M, since they are diagonal matrices and the action is by conjugation. I think the lemma doesn't help here.
