The symmetric group acts on tabloids by permuting their entries; extending linearly gives the permutation module . Its dimension isA tableau of type contains exactly copies of the label . Fix a numbering of the -diagram's cells by . For a filling , let the th row set of an associated -tabloid be the set of cell numbers whose labels in equal . This is a bijection from type- fillings to -tabloids.
Define by moving labels along the numbered positions: its label at cell is the old label at cell . The associated row set is then the image under of the old row set. Thus the bijection is equivariant, and its linear extension makes and isomorphic representations. Extend from group elements to the group algebra by linearity.
