Decomposing $(\mathbb C^n)^{\otimes m}$ as a representation of $S_n\times S_m$
$V=\mathbb C^n$ is a $\mathbb CS_n$-module, where $S_n$ is the symmetric group of degree $n$, via the representation sending a permutation to the corresponding permutation matrix. The tensor power $V^...

Branching rule from symmetric group $S_{2n}$ to hyperoctahedral group $H_n$
Embed the hyperoctahedral group $H_n$ into the symmetric group $S_{2n}$ as the centralizer of the involution $(1, 2) (3, 4) \cdots (2n-1, 2n)$ (cycle notation). Label representations of $S_{2n}$ by ...
