The nonzero homomorphism cannot kill , because the Specht module is generated by the translates of this polytabloid. Equivariance and part d(i) therefore giveThus acts nontrivially on , and hence on . Some -tabloid must satisfy . Fact 2 now says that dominates in the dominance order on partitions.

If the two displayed simple quotients and are isomorphic, compose the quotient map with an isomorphism to . Part d(ii) gives . Applying the inverse isomorphism gives . Antisymmetry of the dominance order on partitions forces . Conversely, equality of the partitions makes the quotients identical, hence isomorphic.
