Computations of Miller and Scheinerman suggest that the vast majority of the zeros appearing in the character table of the symmetric group are of a certain special type. While we cannot prove this, we resolve a conjecture arising in their…

By exploiting relationships between the values taken by ordinary characters of symmetric groups we prove two theorems in the modular representation theory of the symmetric group. 1. The decomposition matrices of symmetric groups in odd…

We give an explicit expression of the normalized characters of the symmetric group in terms of the contents of the partition labelling the representation.

Amdeberhan recently proposed certain equalities between sums in the character table of symmetric groups. These equalities are between signed column sums in the character table, summing over the rows labeled by partitions in $\Ev$, where…

In this investigation of character tables of finite groups we study basic sets and associated representation theoretic data for complementary sets of conjugacy classes. For the symmetric groups we find unexpected properties of characters on…

Let $X$ be a character table of the symmetric group $S_n$. It is shown that unless $n = 4$ or $n=6$, there is a unique way to assign partitions of $n$ to the rows and columns of $X$ so that for all $\lambda$ and $\nu$, $X_{\lambda\nu}$ is…

For any two partitions $\lambda$ and $\mu$ of a positive integer $N$, let $\chi_{\lambda}(\mu)$ be the value of the irreducible character of the symmetric group $S_{N}$ associated with $\lambda$, evaluated at the conjugacy class of elements…

We study the zero-sharing behavior among irreducible characters of a finite group. For symmetric groups $S_n$, it is proved that, with one exception, any two irreducible characters have at least one common zero. To further explore this…

A special type of conjugacy classes in symmetric groups is studied and used to answer a question about odd-degree irreducible characters

In this note, an intrinsic description of some families of linear codes with symmetries is given, showing that they can be described more generally as quasi group codes, that is, as linear codes allowing a group of permutation automorphisms…

We give the classification of thick representations and dense representations of the symmetric group over a field of characteristic zero.

Given a generalized $e$-block $B$ of a symmetric group and an $e$-regular conjugacy class $C$, we study the number of irreducible characters in $B$ which do not vanish on $C$ and find lower bounds for it.

The object of this short note is to prove a theorem and present a conjecture for the number of even entries in the character table of the symmetric group.

Tables of crystallographic properties of double antisymmetry space groups, including symmetry element diagrams, general position diagrams, and positions, with multiplicities, site symmetries, coordinates, spin and roto vectors are…

We give explicit formulas for the asymptotic Betti numbers, over an arbitrary field, of the ordered configuration spaces of a graph. In characteristic zero, we further give explicit formulas for the asymptotic multiplicities in homology of…

The paper develops elementary linear algebra methods to compute the determinants of the tensor symmetrizations of quadratic and hermitian forms over fields of good characteristic. Explicit results are given for the partitions $(n)$,…

Asymptotic formulas of the number of various partitions are studied, like 3-colored partitions, concave partitions, certain plane partitions, partitions without small parts, the number of p-rings.

We give a complete list of indecomposable characters of the infinite symmetric semigroup. In comparison with the analogous list for the infinite symmetric group, one should introduce only one new parameter, which has a clear combinatorial…

We consider complete intersection ideals in a polynomial ring over a field of characteristic zero that are stable under the action of the symmetric group permuting the variables. We determine the possible representation types for these…

We investigate symmetric quotient algebras of symmetric algebras, with an emphasis on finite group algebras over a complete discrete valuation ring ${\mathcal O}$. Using elementary methods, we show that if an ordinary irreducible character…
