The permutation module has a basis consisting of row tabloids of shape : tableaux are identified when each row has the same set of entries. A permutation acts by applying it to every entry, and the action is extended linearly over . Its dimension is .
Here the two singleton rows form an ordered pair of distinct entries, so
A standard tableau of the same shape must put one in its top-left corner. Choose two entries from for the two remaining boxes of the first column, in increasing order; all other entries then fill the top row in increasing order. Thus the standard-polytabloid basis gives
