Invariants of Specht Modules

Abstract

In [14] Hemmer conjectures that the module of fixed points for the symmetric group Σm\Sigma_m of a Specht module for Σn\Sigma_n (with n>mn>m), over a field of positive characteristic pp, has a Specht series, when viewed as a Σnm\Sigma_{n-m}-module. We provide a counterexample for each prime pp. The examples have the same form for p5p\geq 5 and we treat the cases p=3p=3 and p=2p=2 separately.
