Branching Rules for Symmetric Groups and Applications

  • Chapter
Algebraic Groups and their Representations

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 517))

Abstract

Let F be an arbitrary field of characteristic p ≥ 0, and Σ n be the symmetric group on n letters. We shall discuss finite-dimensional representations of Σ n over F or, equivalently, finite-dimensional FΣ n -modules. Basic facts important for our topic can be found in [18, 21, 20]. We recall here some of them.
