“Frobenius twists” in the representation theory of the symmetric group

چکیده
For the general linear group GLn(k) over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p, there are two types of “twisting” operations that arise naturally on partitions. These are of the form λ → pλ and λ → λ+ prτ The first comes from the Frobenius twist, and the second arises in various tensor product situations, often from tensoring with the Steinberg module. This paper surveys and adds to an intriguing series of seemingly unrelated symmetric group results where this partition combinatorics arises, but with no structural explanation for it. This includes cohomology of simple, Specht and Young modules, support varieties for Specht modules, homomorphisms between Specht modules, the Mullineux map, p-Kostka numbers and tensor products of Young modules.

Frobenius kernel and Wedderburn's little theorem
We give a new proof of the well known Wedderburn's little theorem (1905) that a finite division ring is commutative. We apply the concept of Frobenius kernel in Frobenius representation theorem in finite group theory to build a proof.
متن کاملDiscrete torsion, symmetric products and the Hilbert scheme
Recently the understanding of the cohomology of the Hilbert scheme of points on K3 surfaces has been greatly improved by Lehn and Sorger [18]. Their approach uses the connection of the Hilbert scheme to the orbifolds given by the symmetric products of these surfaces. We introduced a general theory replacing cohomology algebras or more generally Frobenius algebras in a setting of global quotient...

After introducing the concepts of partitions, Young diagrams, representation theory, and characters of representations, the 2006 paper by A. M. Vershik entitled “A New Approach to the Representation Theory of the Symmetric Group, III: Induced Representations and the Frobenius-Young Correspondence” is discussed. In tracing through Vershik’s line of reasoning, a flaw emerges in his attempt to pro...
متن کاملN ov 2 00 3 Symmetric Coalgebras
We construct a structure of a ring with local units on a co-Frobenius coalgebra. We study a special class of co-Frobenius coalgebras whose objects we call symmetric coalgebras. We prove that any semiperfect coalgebra can be embedded in a symmetric coalgebra. A dual version of Brauer's equivalence theorem is presented, allowing a characterization of symmetric coalgebras by comparing certain func...

For any set representation (permutation representation) of the symmetric group Sn, we give combinatorial interpretation for coefficients of its Frobenius character expanded in the basis of monomial symmetric functions.
