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. $\operatorname{char}(k)=p>0$? I ...

Upper bound on decomposition numbers for the symmetric group in a block of weight $w$

The $p$-blocks of the symmetric group $S_n$ are labelled by pairs $(\gamma, w)$ where $\gamma$ is a $p$-core partition, $w \in \mathbb{N}_0$ is the weight of the block, and $|\gamma| + p w = n$. ...
