Abstract

If λ\lambda and μ\mu are two non-empty Young diagrams with the same number of squares, and λ\boldsymbol\lambda and μ\boldsymbol\mu are obtained by dividing each square into d2d^2 congruent squares, then the corresponding character value χλ(μ)\chi_{\boldsymbol\lambda}(\boldsymbol\mu) is divisible by d!d!.
