I am interested in understanding the unitary representations of the symmetric group over $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$. In general, some comments here are relevant Unitary representations of finite groups over ...

Let $S(m,n)$ be the generalized symmetric group which is a wreath product of the cyclic group of order $m$, denoted here by $\mathbb{Z}_m$, and the symmetric group $S_n$. A standard unitary ...

I have a question about partial sums of Weingarten functions. The Weingarten functions are defined as $$ E_U[U_{i_1,j_1}\dotsm U_{i_k,j_k}U^*_{i'_1,j'_1}\dotsm U^*_{i'_k,j'_k}]=\sum_{\alpha,\beta \in \...

Let $N$ be a fixed positive integer, and denote by $C(m)$ the number of permutations on an $N$-element set that have exactly $m$ cycles (counting $1$-cycles). Then it is in the literature that the ...

Let $S_n$ be the symmetric group of $n$ points. I want to find references (or proofs) for the following statement (1). (1). There does not exist any faithful orthogonal representation $$ S_n\...
