Homework Statement
Consider the irreducible representation [itex]V[/itex] in the symmetric group [itex]S_5[/itex] corresponding to the Young diagram (these are meant to be boxes): [tex][\;\;][\;\;] \\ [\;\;][\;\;] \\ [\;\;]\;\;\;\;[/tex]
(a) List all standard Young tableaux of the given shape (that is, list all the possible fillings of the boxes with $\{1,2,3,4,5\}$ such that the numbers increase along the rows and down the columns).
(b) Give the dimension of [itex]V[/itex].
(c) For any standard tableau [itex]\Omega[/itex] of the given shape, let [itex]e_{\Omega}[/itex] be the standard basis element of the representation [itex]V[/itex]. Evaluate the action of the permutation [itex]g=(23)(45)(23)(34)(23) \in S_5[/itex] on the vector [itex]e_{\Omega}[/itex] where [itex]\Omega =[/itex] [tex][\;1\;][\;4\;] \\ [\;2\;][\;5\;] \\ [\;3\;]\;\;\;\;\;\,[/tex]
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
My answers:
(a) There are 5 standard Young tableaux of the given shape.
(b) So dim(V)=5.
(c) The basis vector [itex]e_{\Omega} = P_{\Omega}Q_{\Omega}[/itex] where [itex]P_\Omega \in \mathbb{C}S_5[/itex] and [itex]Q_{\Omega}\in\mathbb{C}S_5[/itex] are the row symmetrizer and column antisymmetrizer of [itex]\Omega[/itex]: [tex]P_{\Omega} = [e+(14)][e+(25)] = e + (25) + (14) + (14)(25) \\ Q_{\Omega} = [e - (12) - (13) - (23) + (123) + (132)][e-(45)][/tex]
The given permutation [itex]g=(23)(45)(23)(34)(23)=(2543)[/itex]. Is there a quicker way to evaluate the action of this permutation on [itex]e_{\Omega}[/itex] then to work out [itex](2543)P_{\Omega}Q_{\Omega}[/itex]?
