SYT and contents of a partition
Let $\lambda$ be an integer partition, denote the number of Standard Young Tableaux of shape $\lambda$ by $f_{\lambda}$. This number is computed by the formula
$$f_{\lambda}=\frac{n!}{\prod_{u\in\...

An identity related to partitions into $n$ parts and Schur polynomials
While working with Schur polynomials I found what seems like a nice identity, and I wonder if it has a simple proof.
Notation: Suppose $d,n\in\mathbb{N}$, and $\lambda =(\lambda_1,\dots,\lambda_n)$ ...

A product identity for partitions
For a partition $\lambda=(\lambda_1\ge \lambda_2\ge \dots)$, let
$m_\lambda=\prod_i (\lambda_i-\lambda_{i+1})!$ be the product of factorials of consecutive differences and let $v_\lambda=\prod_{i | \...

Dimension of a certain space of symmetric functions: Part I
Let $s_{\lambda}$ denote the Schur polynomial associated to a partition $\lambda$. A partition $\lambda$ is called a $t$-core if none of its hook lengths are multiples of $t$.

What is $\dim D^{\lambda}$ for the symmetric group?
What are the dimensions of the simple modules $D^{\lambda}=S^{\lambda}/S^{\lambda}\cap (S^{\lambda})^{\perp}$ for the modular representation theory of $S_n$, i.e. $\operatorname{char}(k)=p>0$?
