Representation theory of finite symmetric groups

Associate representation

Multiplying any irrep by the alternating character gives another irrep (see Tensor product with a 1-dimensional representation). Two irreps related by

are called associate representations. #m/def/rep/sym Iff then is called self-associate.

Properties

• is self-associate iff for odd
• and are associate to each other
