Definition 2.1.5 Suppose An. Let
M = C{{₁},... {tk}}.
where (t₁)....() is a complete list of A-tabloids. Then MA is called the
permutation module corresponding to A. ■
Since we are considering only row equivalence classes, we could list the rows of
MA in any order and produce an isomorphic module. Thus M" is defined for
any composition (ordered partition) . As will be seen in the next examples.
we have already met three of these modules.
Example 2.1.6 If A = (n), then
with the trivial action. ■
M() = C{12}
Example 2.1.7 Now consider A = (122). Each equivalence class {t} consists
of a single tableau, and this tableau can be identified with a permutation in
one-line notation (by taking the transpose, if you wish). Since the action of
Sn is preserved,
M(1) CS
and the regular representation presents itself. ■
Example 2.1.8 Finally, if λ = (n-1, 1), then each A-tabloid is uniquely
determined by the element in its second row, which is a number from 1 to n.
As in Example 1.6.3, this sets up a module isomorphism
M(-1,1)
C{1,2,...,n},
so we have recovered the defining representation. ■
