Algebra and combinatorics

From MaRDI portal





This survey gives a clear and thorough exposition of representations of the symmetric and related groups and their associated combinatorics of partitions. This fruitful area of interaction between combinatorics and algebra is introduced to the reader in short sections containing the relevant material: Ordinary representation theory of finite groups, ordinary representations of the symmetric groups and their combinatorics, spin representations and the combinatorics of strict partitions, modular representation theory, connections between ordinary and modular representations, modular branching of \(S_n\)-representations, the Mullineux conjecture, modular spin representations. The survey closes with a list of open problems. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0893.00027].
