Let and putSince is -regular, every , so in . Parts b and c give . Since commutes with the group-algebra action,The left side belongs to . Division by shows that is a scalar multiple of . Part a(i) says that generates , so is that scalar multiple of the identity. This proves the endomorphism theorem for a regular Specht module.
