R. Stanley has found a nice combinatorial formula for characters of irreducible representations of the symmetric group of rectangular shape. Then, he has given a conjectural generalisation for any shape. Here, we will prove this formula…

We relate the linear asymptotic representation theory of the symmetric groups to its spin counterpart. In particular, we give explicit formulas which express the normalized irreducible spin characters evaluated on a strict partition $\xi$…

We give a new formula for the values of an irreducible character of the symmetric group S_n indexed by a partition of rectangular shape. Some observations and a conjecture are given concerning a generalization to arbitrary shapes.

In math.CO/0109093 the author obtained a formula for the value of an irreducible symmetric group character indexed by a partition of rectangular shape. In the present paper this formula is (conjecturally) generalized to arbitrary shapes.

The branching theorem expresses irreducible character values for the symmetric group $S_n$ in terms of those for $S_{n-1}$, but it gives the values only at elements of $S_n$ having a fixed point. We extend the theorem by providing a…

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

We give closed product formulas for the irreducible characters of the symmetric groups related to rectangular `almost square' Young diagrams $p \times(p+\delta)$ for a fixed value of an integer $\delta$ and an arbitrary integer $p$.

Stanley introduces polynomials which help evaluate symmetric group characters and conjectures that the coefficients of the polynomials are positive. Stanley later gives a conjectured combinatorial interpretation for the coefficients of the…

The paper studies how to compute irreducible characters of the generalized symmetric group $C_k\wr{S}_n$ by iterative algorithms. After reproving the Ariki-Koike version of the Murnaghan-Nakayama rule by vertex algebraic methods, we…

The irreducible characters of the symmetric group are a symmetric polynomial in the eigenvalues of a permutation matrix. They can therefore be realized as a symmetric function that can be evaluated at a set of variables and form a basis of…

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 present an explicit formula for subregular characters (i.e, irreducible finite-dimensional complex characters of submaximal degree) of the unitriangular group over a finite field of sufficiently large characteristic.

In the previous paper, we proposed a practical method of constructing explicitly representation groups $R(G)$ for finite groups $G$, and apply it to certain typical finite groups $G$ with Schur multiplier $M(G)$ containing prime number 3.…

The classification of irreducible, spherical characters of the infinite-dimensional unitary/orthogonal/symplectic groups can be obtained by finding all possible limits of normalized, irreducible characters of the corresponding…

We classify the irreducible complex characters of the symplectic groups $Sp_{2n}(q)$ and the orthogonal groups $Spin_{2n}^\pm(q)$, $Spin_{2n+1}(q)$ of degrees up to the bound D, where $D=(q^n-1)q^{4n-10}/2$ for symplectic groups,…

The irreducible character values of the spin wreath products of the symmetric group and an arbitrary finite group are completely determined.

In a recent paper, the authors introduced a new basis of the ring of symmetric functions which evaluate to the irreducible characters of the symmetric group at roots of unity. The structure coefficients for this new basis are the stable…

In an earlier paper [1] it was shown that the Frobenius compound characters for the symmetric groups are related to the irreducible characters by a linear relation that involves a unitriagular coupling matrix that gives the Frobenius…

Stanley and F\'eray gave a formula for the irreducible character of the symmetric group related to a multi-rectangular Young diagram. This formula shows that the character is a polynomial in the multi-rectangular coordinates and gives an…

In 1911 Schur computed the spin character values of the symmetric group using two important ingredients: the first one later became famously known as the Schur Q-functions and the second one was certain creative construction of the…
