We prove the existence and main properties of signed Young modules for the symmetric group, using only basic facts about symmetric group representations and the Brou{\'e} correspondence. We then prove new reduction theorems for the signed…

We study the multiplicities of Young modules as direct summands of permutation modules on cosets of Young subgroups. Such multiplicities have become known as the p-Kostka numbers. We classify the indecomposable Young permutation modules,…

Let $S_n$ be the symmetric group, and let $Y$ be a Young subgroup of $S_n$. Let $\Pi_n$ be the complex of partitions of $\{1, \ldots, n\}$. Our main result is a $Y$-equivariant decomposition of $\Pi_n$. As an application, we obtain new…

By a result of Hemmer, every simple Specht module of a finite symmetric group over a field of odd characteristic is a signed Young module. While Specht modules are parametrized by partitions, indecomposable signed Young modules are…

We show that the signed $p$-Kostka numbers depend just on $p$-Kostka numbers and the multiplicities of projective indecomposable modules in certain signed Young permutation modules. We then examine the signed $p$-Kostka number…

Let p be a prime number. We study the dimensions of Brauer constructions of Young and Young permutation modules with respect to p-subgroups of the symmetric groups. They depend only on partitions labelling the modules and the orbits of the…

Let $n$ be a positive integer and $\lambda$ be a partition of $n$. Let $M^\lambda$ be the Young permutation module labelled by $\lambda$. In this paper, we study symmetric and exterior powers of $M^\lambda$ in positive characteristic case.…

We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for a quadratic polynomial to be irreducible in the ring $Z[[x]]$ of formal power series with integer coefficients. For $n,m\ge 1$ and $p$ prime, we show that $p^n+p^m\beta x+\alpha x^2$ is…

A "flip-and-reversal" involution arising in the study of quasisymmetric Schur functions provides a passage between what we term "Young" and "reverse" variants of bases of polynomials or quasisymmetric functions. Building on this…

In this article, we study the permutation modules and Young modules of the group algebras of the direct product of symmetric groups $K\mathfrak{S}_{a,b}$, and the walled Brauer algebras $\B_{r,t}(\delta)$. In the category of dual…

There are several isomorphic constructions for the irreducible polynomial representations of the general linear group in characteristic zero. The two most well-known versions are called Schur modules and Weyl modules. Steven Sam used a Weyl…

The polynomial ring $B$ in infinitely many indeterminates $(x_1,x_2,\ldots)$, with rational coefficients, has a vector space basis of Schur polynomials, parametrized by partitions. The goal of this note is to provide an explanation of the…

A three-dimensional polynomial algebra of order $m$ is defined by the commutation relations $[P_0, P_\pm]$ $=$ $\pm P_\pm$, $[P_+, P_-]$ $=$ $\phi^{(m)}(P_0)$ where $\phi^{(m)}(P_0)$ is an $m$-th order polynomial in $P_0$ with the…

Recently Donkin defined signed Young modules as a simultaneous generalization of Young and twisted Young modules for the symmetric group. We show that in odd characteristic, if a Specht module $S^\lambda$ is irreducible, then $S^\lambda$ is…

For prime levels $5 \le p \le 19$, sets of $\Gamma_{0}(p)$-permuted theta quotients are constructed that generate the graded rings of modular forms of positive integer weight for $\Gamma_{1}(p)$. An explicit formulation of the permutation…

This paper introduces and studies a new class of rings called {\it $U\sqrt{\Delta}$-rings}. A ring $R$ is $U\sqrt{\Delta}$ if every non-unit element can be written as the product of a unit and an element from $\sqrt{\Delta(R)}$, where…
