The preceding part shows that in characteristic zero, so . Apply the James submodule theorem to the proper submodule to obtain
The Hook-length formula gives . Surjectivity of therefore gives
and hence
Fix the original tableaux . For a -tableau , let be the unique permutation satisfying and put . Since
the quotient pairing gives the explicit conjugate Specht module as a sign-twisted dual isomorphism
for every -tableau .
