Abstract:For every irreducible complex representation π λ of the symmetric group S n , we construct, in a canonical way, a so-called intrinsic hyperplane arrangement A λ in the space of π λ . This arrangement is a direct generalization of the classical braid arrangement (which is the special case of our construction corresponding to the natural representation of S n ), has a natural description in terms of invariant subspaces of Young subgroups, and enjoys a number of remarkable properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
