We construct a resolution of irreducible complex representations of the symmetric group $S_n$ by restrictions of representations of $GL_n(\mathbb{C})$ (where $S_n$ is the subgroup of permutation matrices). This categorifies a recent result…

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.…

For $ k \in \mathbb{N}$ we introduce an idempotent subalgebra, the spherical partition algebra ${\mathcal{SP} }_{k}$, of the partition algebra ${\mathcal{P} }_{k}$, that we define using an embedding associated with the trivial…

We obtain alternative explicit Specht filtrations for the induced and the restricted Specht modules in the Hecke algebra of the symmetric group (defined over the ring $A=\mathbb Z[q^{1/2},q^{-1/2}]$ where $q$ is an indeterminate) using…

We give a closed formula for the number of partitions $\lambda$ of $n$ such that the corresponding irreducible representation $V_\lambda$ of $S_n$ has non-trivial determinant. We determine how many of these partitions are self-conjugate and…

Schur modules give the irreducible polynomial representations of the general linear group $\mathrm{GL}_t$. Viewing the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_t$ as a subgroup of $\mathrm{GL}_t$, we may restrict Schur modules to $\mathfrak{S}_t$ and…

In this paper branching rules for the fundamental representations of the symplectic groups in positive characteristic are found. The submodule structure of the restrictions of the fundamental modules for the group $Sp_{2n}(K)$ to the…

Let $M$ be a free module of rank $m$ over a commutative unital ring $R$ and let $N$ be its free submodule. We consider the problem when a given element of the exterior product $\Lambda^pM$ is divisible, in a sense, over elements of the…

It is shown that for the conjugation action of the symmetric group $S_n,$ when $n=6$ or $n\geq 8,$ all $S_n$-irreducibles appear as constituents of a single conjugacy class, namely, one indexed by a partition $\lambda$ of $n$ with at least…

Let $F$ be a non-Archimedean local field. This paper studies homological properties of irreducible smooth representations restricted from $\mathrm{GL}_{n+1}(F)$ to $\mathrm{GL}_n(F)$. A main result shows that each Bernstein component of an…

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…

Given $r \in \mathbf{N},$ let $\lambda$ be a partition of $r$ with at most two parts. Let $\mathbf{F}$ be a field of characteristic 3. Write $M^\lambda$ for the $\mathbf{F}S_r$-permutation module corresponding to the action of the symmetric…

We realize the integral Specht modules for the symmetric group $S_n$ as induced modules from the subalgebra of the group algebra generated by the Jucys-Murphy elements. We deduce from this that the simple modules for $FS_n$ are generated by…

We construct and investigate Specht modules $\mathcal{S}^\lambda$ for cyclotomic quiver Hecke algebras in type $C^{(1)}_\ell$ and $C_\infty$, which are labelled by multipartitions $\lambda$. It is shown that in type $C_\infty$, the Specht…

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.

We construct a complex $\mathcal{L}_\bullet^\lambda$ resolving the irreducible representations $\mathcal{S}^{\lambda[n]}$ of the symmetric groups $S_n$ by representations restricted from $GL_n(k)$. This construction lifts to…

It is proved that each Hoeffding space associated with a random permutation (or, equivalently, with extractions without replacement from a finite population) carries an irreducible representation of the symmetric group, equivalent to a…

It is proven that if a finite group $G$ has a normal subgroup $H$ with $p'$-index (where $p$ is a prime) and $G/H$ is solvable, then for a $p$-subgroup $P$ of $H$, if the Scott $kH$-module with vertex $P$ is Brauer indecomposable, then so…

This paper studies the vertices, in the sense defined by J. A. Green, of Specht modules for symmetric groups. The main theorem gives, for each indecomposable non-projective Specht module, a large subgroup contained in one of its vertices. A…

Let $F$ be a field of characteristic $p$ at least 5. We study the Loewy structures of Specht modules in the principal block of $F\Sigma_{3p}$. We show that a Specht module in the block has Loewy length at most 4 and composition length at…
