We present here a new approach to the description of finite-dimensional complex irreducible representations of the symmetric groups due to A. Okounkov and A. Vershik. It gives an alternative construction to the combinatorial one, which uses tabloids, polytabloids, and Specht modules. Its aim is to show how the combinatorial objects of the theory (Young diagrams and tableaux) arise from the internal structure of the symmetric group. Bibliography: 9 titles.

A new approach to the representation theory of the symmetric groups, III: Induced representations and the Frobenius--Young correspondence
We give a new (inductive) proof of the classical Frobenius--Young correspondence between irreducible complex representations of the symmetric group and Young diagrams, using the new approach,…

Representation theory of symmetric groups and related Hecke algebras
We survey some fundamental trends in representation theory of symmetric groups and related objects which became apparent in the last fifteen years. The emphasis is on connections with Lie theory via…
Modular representations, old and new
The modular representation theory of finite groups has its origins in the work of Richard Brauer. In this survey article, we first discuss the work being done on some outstanding conjectures in the…
A Gel'fand Model for the Symmetric Generalized Group
In this article we develop for the symmetric generalized group and K a field of characteristic zero which contains the mth roots of unity, a linear subspace of K[x 1,…, x n ] which is a complex…

Abstract The symmetric group on a set acts transitively on the set of its subsets of a fixed size. We define homomorphisms between the corresponding permutation modules, defined over a field of…

This paper considers random walks on a finite group G, in which the probability of going from x to yx, x,y ∈ G, depends only on y. The main results concern the distribution of the number of steps it…

On Cayley Graphs on the Symmetric Group Generated by Tranpositions
TLDR
It is shown that among all sets of n-1 transpositions which generate the symmetric group, , the set whose associated Cayley graph has the highest is the set {(1, n, (2, n), ..., (n-1,n)} (or the same with n and i exchanged for any i<n).

In this paper we study the Betti numbers of a type of simplicial complex known as a chessboard complex. We obtain a formula for their Betti numbers as a sum of terms involving partitions. This…
