The complexities of some simple modules of the symmetric groups

Representation Theory 2014-02-26 v2

Abstract

We show that the simple modules of the Rouquier blocks of symmetric groups, in characteristic pp and having pp-weight ww with w<pw < p, have a common complexity ww, and that when pp is odd, D(p+1,1p1)D^{(p+1,1^{p-1})} has complexity 1, while the other simple modules labelled by a partition having pp-weight 2 have complexity 2.
