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…

Let $S_\lambda$ denote the Specht module defined by Dipper and James for the Iwahori-Hecke algebra $\mathscr{H}_n$ of the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$. When $e=2$ we determine the decomposability of all Specht modules corresponding to…

For a Specht module S^\lambda for the symmetric group \Sigma_d, the cohomology H^i(\Sigma_d, S^\lambda) is known only in degree i=0. We give a combinatorial criterion equivalent to the nonvanishing of the degree i=1 cohomology, valid in odd…

Let $q$ be a prime power, $G=GL_n(q)$ and let $U\leqslant G$ be the subgroup of (lower) unitriangular matrices in $G$. For a partition $\lambda$ of $n$ denote the corresponding unipotent Specht module over the complex field $\C$ for $G$ by…

Let $K$ be an infinite field of characteristic $p>0$ and let $\lambda, \mu$ be partitions of $n$, where $\lambda=(\lambda_1,...,\lambda_n)$ and $\mu=(\mu_1,..,\mu_n)$. By $S^{\lambda}$ we denote the Specht module corresponding to $\lambda$…

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…

We study the indecomposable summands of the permutation module obtained by inducing the trivial $\mathbb{F}(S_a\wr S_n)$-module to the full symmetric group $S_{an}$ for any field $\mathbb{F}$ of odd prime characteristic $p$ such that…

For every partition $\lambda$ of a positive integer $n$, let $S^{\lambda}$ be the corresponding Specht module of the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$, and let $\det(\lambda)\in \mathbb Z$ denote the Gram determinant of the canonical…

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].…

Recently Donkin defined signed Young modules as a simultaneous generalization of Young and twisted Young modules for the symmetric group. We show that in odd characteristic, if a Specht module $S^\lambda$ is irreducible, then $S^\lambda$ is…

We consider symmetric (under the action of products of finite symmetric groups) real algebraic varieties and semi-algebraic sets, as well as symmetric complex varieties in affine and projective spaces, defined by polynomials of degrees…

During the 2004-2005 academic year the VIGRE algebra research group at the University of Georgia computed the complexities of certain Specht modules S^\lambda for the symmetric group, using the computer algebra program Magma. The complexity…

In [14] Hemmer conjectures that the module of fixed points for the symmetric group $\Sigma_m$ of a Specht module for $\Sigma_n$ (with $n>m$), over a field of positive characteristic $p$, has a Specht series, when viewed as 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…

We aim to construct an element satisfying Hemmer's combinatorial criterion for $H^1(\mathfrak{S}_n, S^\lambda)$ to be non-vanishing. In the process, we discover an unexpected and surprising link between the combinatorial theory of integral…

Let $\Sigma_d$ denote the symmetric group of degree $d$ and let $K$ be a field of positive characteristic $p$. For $p>2$ we give an explicit description of the first cohomology group $H^1(\Sigma_d,{\rm{Sp}}(\lambda))$, of the Specht module…

The elementary divisors of the Gram matrices of Specht modules S^lambda over the symmetric group are determined for two-row partitions and for two-column partitions lambda. More precisely, the subquotients of the Jantzen filtration are…

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…

Let $F$ be a field of characteristic $p$. We show that $\Hom_{F\Sigma_n}(S^\lambda, S^\mu)$ can have arbitrarily large dimension as $n$ and $p$ grow, where $S^\lambda$ and $S^\mu$ are Specht modules for the symmetric group $\Sigma_n$.…

We investigate integral forms of simple modules of symmetric groups over fields of characteristic $0$ labelled by hook partitions. Building on work of Plesken and Craig, for every odd prime $p$, we give a set of representatives of the…
