What is the centralizer of a Young subgroup of $S_n$?

In their celebrated paper "A new approach to the representation theory of the symmetric group. II", Okounkov and Vershik prove that $Z(n-1,1)$, the centralizer of $\mathbb{C}[S_{n-1}]$ in $\...

Is there any simple formula for the character of $S_{n}$ represented by the set of $k$-tuples of $\{1,2,...,n\}$?

I'm interested in the representation theory of symmetric groups. I'm now trying to search for the formula for the characters of $\Omega^{k}$, the set of $k$-tuple of elements of $\Omega$ a set of $n$ ...

What is the $p$-regular partition corresponding to the sign representation of $S_{n}$ over a field of characteristic $p$?

I'm now interested in the modular representation of symmetric groups. It is well-known that for a fixed prime $p$, there is a bijection between the irreducible representations of $S_{n}$ over a field ...

Factorization in the group algebra of symmetric groups

Let $S_n$ be the symmetric group on $\{1, \ldots, n\}$. Let \begin{align} T=\sum_{g\in S_n} g. \end{align} Are there some references about the factorization of $T$? In the case of $n=3$, we have \...

Polynomials of low degree that clone polynomials of higher degree

Let $f(x_1,\dots,x_{16})=(x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4)(x_5+x_6+x_7+x_8)(x_9+x_{10}+x_{11}+x_{12})(x_{13}+x_{14}+x_{15}+x_{16})\in\Bbb R[x]$. Let $\mathcal{Z}$ be the zero set of $f$ in $\mathcal{C_{16}}=\{0,1\}^{...

How to solve a system of equations over permutations?

Imagine you have a $n\times n$ matrix filled in with permutations over $n$ elements. Now you pick one permutation from each row randomly starting from the first row and by multiplying them get a ...
