Irreducible Representations of the Symmetric Group

چکیده
The intent of this paper is to give the reader, in a general sense, how to go about finding irreducible representations of the Symmetric Group Sn. While I would like to be thorough toward this end, I fear we must assume some results from Wedderburn Theory that will be given without proof because although they are important, proving and discussing these results is not in the scope of this paper. On that note, I’d like to mention that I make no claim to originality in the paper that follows as my work was heavily guided by two very excellent books:

Monomial Irreducible sln-Modules
In this article, we introduce monomial irreducible representations of the special linear Lie algebra $sln$. We will show that this kind of representations have bases for which the action of the Chevalley generators of the Lie algebra on the basis elements can be given by a simple formula.
متن کاملSymmetry classes of polynomials associated with the dihedral group
In this paper, we obtain the dimensions of symmetry classes of polynomials associated with the irreducible characters of the dihedral group as a subgroup of the full symmetric group. Then we discuss the existence of o-basis of these classes.
متن کاملIrreducible Representations of the Symmetric Group
We construct the Specht modules and prove that they completely characterize the irreducible representations of the symmetric group. We will prove certain properties of these representations using combinatorial tools (such as calculating the dimension using Hook’s length formula). Only an introductory knowledge of group theory and linear algebra will be assumed and representation theory concepts...
متن کاملYoung Tableaux and the Representations of the Symmetric Group
We explore an intimate connection between Young tableaux and representations of the symmetric group. We describe the construction of Specht modules which are irreducible representations of Sn, and also highlight some interesting results such as the branching rule and Young’s rule.
متن کاملIRREDUCIBLE REPRESENTATIONS OF SU(n) WITH PRIME POWER DEGREE
The correspondence between irreducible representations of the symmetric group Sn and partitions of n is well-known. Less well-known is the connection between irreducible representations of the special unitary group SU(n) and partitions with less than n parts. This paper uses this correspondence to classify the irreducible representations of SU(n) with prime power degree.
متن کاملThe Representations of the Symmetric Group
In this paper we classify the irreducible representations of the symmetric group Sn and give a proof of the hook formula for the dimension of each irreducible. 1. The Irreducible Representations of Sn We construct the irreducible representations of the symmetric group. The number of irreducible representations of Sn is the number of conjugacy classes of Sn, which is the number of partitions of ...
