Review text

The author proposes the following conjecture: the restriction to a Sylow \(p\)-subgroup of any irreducible character of the symmetric group has always a linear constituent. The key idea of the paper is to reduce the proof of the previous conjecture to the following one, that in turn is equivalent to a purely combinatorial statement: let \(q\) and \(m\) be natural numbers and let \(H=(\text{Sym}(q))^m\leq \text{Sym}(q\cdot m)\); for any irreducible character \(\chi\) of \(\text{Sym}(q\cdot m)\), there exists an irreducible character \(\Delta(\chi)\) of \(H\) such that \(\Delta(\chi)^m\) is a constituent of \(\chi_H.\) The author proves that this conjecture is true when \(p=3,\) and consequently the restriction to a Sylow 3-subgroup of any irreducible character of the symmetric group has always a linear constituent.
