Abstract

Let nn be a positive integer and λ\lambda be a partition of nn. Let MλM^\lambda be the Young permutation module labelled by λ\lambda. In this paper, we study symmetric and exterior powers of MλM^\lambda in positive characteristic case. We determine the symmetric and exterior powers of MλM^\lambda that are projective. All the indecomposable exterior powers of MλM^\lambda are also classified. We then prove some results for indecomposable direct summands that have the largest complexity in direct sum decompositions of some symmetric and exterior powers of MλM^\lambda. We end by parameterizing all the Scott modules that are isomorphic to direct summands of the symmetric or exterior square of MλM^\lambda and determining their corresponding multiplicities explicitly.
