Abstract: The partition algebra $mathsf{P}_k(n)$ and the symmetric group $mathsf{S}_n$ are in Schur-Weyl duality on the $k$-fold tensor power $mathsf{M}_n^{otimesk}$ of the permutation module $mathsf{M}_n$ of $mathsf{S}_n$, so there is a surjection $mathsf{P}_k(n)omathsf{Z}_k(n):=mathsf{End}_{mathsf{S}_n}(mathsf{M}_n^{otimesk}),$ which is an isomorphism when $nge2k$. We prove a dimension formula for the irreducible modules of the centralizer algebra $mathsf{Z}_k(n)$ in terms of Stirling numbers of the second kind. Via Schur-Weyl duality, these dimensions equal the multiplicities of the irreducible $mathsf{S}_n$-modules in $mathsf{M}_n^{otimesk}$. Our dimension expressions hold for any $ngeq1$ and $kge0$. Our methods are based on an analog of Frobenius reciprocity that we show holds for the centralizer algebras of arbitrary finite groups and their subgroups acting on a finite-dimensional module. This enables us to generalize the above result to various analogs of the partition algebra including the centralizer algebra for the alternating group acting on $mathsf{M}_n^{otimesk}$ and the quasi-partition algebra corresponding to tensor powers of the reflection representation of $mathsf{S}_n$.
