Proving interesting theorems about S_n using its character table.

For symmetric groups, there is a third nice basis: For $\lambda \vdash n$, let $$ S_\lambda = \prod_{i=1}^{n} S_i^{\lambda_i} $$ and consider the characters of the induced reps $Ind_{S_\lambda}^{S_n} \ … Consider the change of basis matrix relating characters of induces reps and characters of irreps: Knowing how character theory for symmetric groups works over $\mathbb{Z}$ (i.e., that both span integrally …
