Relating homomorphism spaces between Specht modules of different degrees

Abstract: Let

K

be an infinite field of characteristic

p > 0

and let

l a m b d a, m u

be partitions of

n

, where

l a m b d a = (l a m b d a_{1}, ..., l a m b d a_{n})

and

m u = (m u_{1}, .., m u_{n})

. By

S^{l a m b d a}

we denote the Specht module corresponding to

l a m b d a

for the group algebra

K m a t h f r a k S_{n}

of the symmetric group

m a t h f r a k S_{n}

. D. Hemmer has raised the question of relating the homomorphism spaces

H o m_{m a t h f r a k S_{n}} (S^{m u}, S^{l a m b d a})

and

H o m_{m a t h f r a k S_{n^{'}}} (S^{m u^{+}}, S^{l a m b d a^{+}})

, where

n^{'} = n + k p^{d}

,

l a m b d a^{+} = l a m b d a + (k p^{d})

,

m u^{+} = m u + (k p^{d})

, and

d, k

are positive integers. We show that these are isomorphic if

p

is odd,

p^{d} > m i n l a m b d a_{2}, m u_{1} - l a m b d a_{1}

and

m u_{2} l e l a m b d a_{1}

.
