Absolute irreducibility of the Specht radical quotient

ID: absolute-irreducibility-of-the-specht-radical-quotient

The James submodule theorem follows from . A nonzero restricted form therefore gives a simple radical quotient. If counts equal-length rows, all integral polytabloid pairings are divisible by , while pairing with row reversal gives . Thus the form is nonzero modulo exactly for regular partitions. The construction and the proof commute with every field extension, so the quotient is absolutely irreducible, including over the prime field.
