Let $A,B,C,D$ be $n$-dimensional vector spaces over a field $k$. There is a natural homomorphism from the $mn^m$th tensor power $A^{\otimes (m n^m)} $ of $A$ to $k$ given by the determinant map $A^{\...

Let $\mathfrak{S}_n$ be the permutation group on $[n]$. Given the pattern $\sigma=k(k-1)\cdots321$, let $I_n(\sigma)$ be the number of involutions in $\mathfrak{S}_n$ that avoid the pattern $\sigma$. ...

Background Let $V_n$ be the $\mathbb{C}$-module spanned by the set of derangements (permutations with no fixed points) inside the group ring of $S_n$. We make $V_n$ into a $\mathbb{C}S_n$-module ...
