Nov 6, 2010 at 23:07 comment added darij grinberg Proving Pieri without characters is more or less equivalent to proving the reduction rule for representations of $S_n$ without characters. This is in some literature, I think, although I have never read such a proof.

Nov 6, 2010 at 15:18 comment added darij grinberg Cool! Remains to get a character-free grip on the $\mathrm{Sym}^2\left(V\right)$ isomorphism and on Pieri's rule (again, both I can only prove using characters...).
