Indecomposable Summands of Foulkes Modules

چکیده
In this paper we study the modular structure of the permutation module H ) of the symmetric group S2n acting on set partitions of a set of size 2n into n sets each of size 2, defined over a field of odd characteristic p. In particular we characterize the vertices of the indecomposable summands of H ) and fully describe all of its indecomposable summands that lie in blocks of p-weight at most two. When 2n < 3p we show that there is a unique summand of H ) in the principal block of S2n and that this summand exhibits many of the extensions between simple modules in its block.

$PI$-extending modules via nontrivial complex bundles and Abelian endomorphism rings
A module is said to be $PI$-extending provided that every projection invariant submodule is essential in a direct summand of the module. In this paper, we focus on direct summands and indecomposable decompositions of $PI$-extending modules. To this end, we provide several counter examples including the tangent bundles of complex spheres of dimensions bigger than or equal to 5 and certain hyper ...
متن کاملRepresentations of symmetric groups
In this thesis we study the ordinary and the modular representation theory of the symmetric group. In particular we focus our work on different important open questions in the area. 1. Foulkes’ Conjecture In Chapter 2 we focus our attention on the long standing open problem known as Foulkes’ Conjecture. We use methods from character theory of symmetric groups to determine new information on the...
متن کاملFoulkes Modules and Decomposition Numbers of the Symmetric Group
The decomposition matrix of a finite group in prime characteristic p records the multiplicities of its p-modular irreducible representations as composition factors of the reductions modulo p of its irreducible representations in characteristic zero. The main theorem of this paper gives a combinatorial description of certain columns of the decomposition matrices of symmetric groups in odd prime ...

We use tilting modules to study the structure of the tensor product of two simple modules for the algebraic group SL2, in positive characteristic, obtaining a twisted tensor product theorem for its indecomposable direct summands. Various other related results are obtained, and numerous examples are computed. Introduction We study the structure of L ⊗ L where L,L are simple modules for the algeb...
متن کاملSet Families and Foulkes Modules
We construct a new family of homomorphisms from Specht modules into Foulkes modules for the symmetric group. These homomorphisms are used to give a combinatorial description of the minimal partitions (in the dominance order) which label the irreducible characters appearing as summands of the characters of Foulkes modules. The homomorphisms are defined using certain families of subsets of the na...
