Let $p\ge 5$ be a prime and let $n$ be a natural number. In this article we describe the irreducible constituents of the induced characters $\phi\big\uparrow^{\mathfrak{S}_n}$ for arbitrary linear characters $\phi$ of a Sylow $p$-subgroup of the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$, generalising earlier results of the authors. By doing so, we introduce Sylow branching coefficients for symmetric groups.

We prove a recursive formula for plethysm coefficients of the form a λ,(m) , generalising results on plethysms due to Bruns–Conca–Varbaro and de Boeck–Paget–Wildon. From this we deduce a stabilityExpand

Let $p$ be any prime. Let $P_n$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup of the symmetric group $S_n$. Let $\phi$ and $\psi$ be linear characters of $P_n$ and let $N$ be the normaliser of $P_n$ in $S_n$. In thisExpand

A natural bijection between odd-degree irreducible characters of S2n and linear characters of its Sylow 2-subgroup P2n is constructed and it is shown that such a bijection is nicely induced by the restriction functor. Expand
