[For the entire collection see Zbl 0721.00007.] Let \(R\) be a commutative ring, \(F\) a free \(R\)-module of rank \(n\) and \(GL(F)\) the general linear group of \(F\). Let \(\lambda=(\lambda_ 1,\lambda_ 2,\dots,\lambda_ k)\) be a partition where \(\lambda_ 1\leq n\), and let \(\mu\) be a partition such that \(\mu\subset \lambda\). Then there are \(GL(F)\)-modules \(L_{\lambda/\mu}\), \(K_{\lambda/\mu}\) associated with the skew shape \(\lambda/\mu\) called the Schur module and the Weyl module, respectively. The first part of this paper is expository and describes resolutions of \(L_{\lambda/\mu}\) and \(K_{\lambda/\mu}\) which realize the Giambelli and the Jacobi-Trudi identities [see e.g. the authors' papers in Adv. Math. 58, 149-200 (1985; Zbl 0607.20021) and Adv. Math. 72, No. 2, 171-210 (1988; Zbl 0681.20028)]. The second part discusses applications of these resolutions to modular representations. Let \(s\) be a non-negative integer and let \(A_ s\) denote the Schur algebra of degree \(s\), i.e. the \(R\)-algebra of \(\Gamma_ s\)- endomorphisms of \(\otimes^ sF\), where \(\Gamma_ s\) is the symmetric group acting naturally on \(\otimes^ sF\). Taking \(R=Z\), the authors discuss the computation of \(\hbox{Ext}^ 1_{A_ s}(K_ \lambda,K_ \mu)\) where \(\lambda\) is a partition as above and \(\mu\) is a partition of the form \((\lambda_ 1,\dots,\lambda_ i+d,\lambda_{i+1},\dots,\lambda_ j-d,\dots,\lambda_ k)\) . In the case when \(\lambda=(\lambda_ 1,\lambda_ 2)\) and in the case when \(\lambda=(\lambda_ 1,\lambda_ 2,\lambda_ 3)\) and \(\mu=(\lambda_ 1+d,\lambda_ 2,\lambda_ 3-d)\) they give explicit computations for these Ext groups.
