Abstract
Given any -dimensional complex representation of a finite group and any highest weight representation of we may define an action of on using the embedding and . We derive a branching rule for the multiplicities of irreducible representations in The formula generalizes Littlewood's reciprocity rule for branching between and the symmetric group of permutation matrices
