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 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…

Let n be a positive integer and let Sigma_n be the symmetric group of degree n. Let S^lambda be the Specht module for Sigma_n corresponding to a partition lambda of n, defined over a field F of odd characteristic. We find the indecomposable…

The author and Nakano recently proved that multiplicities in a Specht filtration of a symmetric group module are well-defined precisely when the characteristic is at least five. This result suggested the possibility of a symmetric group…

Over fields of characteristic zero, there are well known construction of the irreducible representations and of irreducible modules, called Specht modules for the symmetric groups $S_{n}$ which are based on elegant combinatorial concepts…

We present (with proof) a new family of decomposable Specht modules for the symmetric group in characteristic 2. These Specht modules are labelled by partitions of the form $(a,3,1^b)$, and are the first new examples found for thirty years.…

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…

Let $p$ be a prime and $\mathbb{F}$ a field of characteristic $p$, and let $\mathcal{H}_n$ denote the Iwahori--Hecke algebra of the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$ over $\mathbb{F}$ at $q=-1$. We prove that there are only finitely many…

Describing the decomposition of Foulkes module $F_b^a$ into irreducible Specht modules is an open problem for $a,b > 3$. In this article we provide a new approach for the Generalized Foulkes module $F_{\nu}^a$ (with arbitrary partition…

We introduce and study an affine analogue of skew Young diagrams and tableaux on them. It turns out that the double affine Hecke algebra of type $A$ acts on the space spanned by standard tableaux on each diagram. It is shown that the…

The construction of all irreducible modules of the symmetric groups over an arbitrary field which reduce to Specht modules in the case of fields of characteristic zero is given by G.D.James. Hal{\i}c{\i}o\u{g}lu and Morris describe a…

For any prime p, we construct, and simultaneously count, all of the complex Specht modules in a given p-block of the symmetric group which remain irreducible when reduced modulo p. We call the Specht modules with this property p-irreducible…

Over fields of characteristic zero, there are well known constructions of the irreducible representations, due to A Young, and of irreducible modules, called Specht modules, due to W Specht, for the symmetric groups $S_{n}$ which are based…

The signed permutation modules are a simultaneous generalization of the ordinary permutation modules and the twisted permutation modules of the symmetric group. In a recent paper Dave Benson and Peter Symonds defined a new invariant…

We consider the decomposition into irreducible components of the external power $\Lambda^p(\mathbb{C}^m\otimes \mathbb{C}^n)$ regarded as a $\operatorname{GL}_m\times\operatorname{GL}_n$-module. Skew Howe duality implies that the Young…

Let p be an odd prime, and A_n the alternating group of degree n. We determine which ordinary irreducible representations of A_n remain irreducible in characteristic p, verifying the author's conjecture from [Represent. Theory 14, 601-626].…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and let $\mathbf{B}$ be a $p$-block of a finite group, such that $\mathbf{B}$ has cyclic defect groups. We describe the self-dual indecomposable $\mathbf{B}$-modules and for each such module determine whether it is…

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…

Let $\H_n$ be a (degenerate or non-degenerate) Hecke algebra of type $G(\ell,1,n)$, defined over a commutative ring $R$ with one, and let $S(\bmu)$ be a Specht module for $\H_n$. This paper shows that the induced Specht module…

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…
