Abstract
We formulate a conjecture for the second generation characters of indecomposable tilting modules for ${\rm SL}_3$. This gives many new conjectural decomposition numbers for symmetric groups. Our conjecture can be interpreted as saying that these characters are governed by a discrete dynamical system (''billiards bouncing in alcoves''). The conjecture implies that decomposition numbers for symmetric groups display (at least) exponential growth.
Key words:
tilting modules; billiards; $p$-canonical basis; symmetric group.
