For ∣λ∣=n, ∣μ∣=m, and k=n−m, define
Vλ/μ=HomSm​​(Vμ,ResSm​Sn​​Vλ).
(1)
The copy of Sk​ acting on the last k letters commutes with Sm​ and acts on this multiplicity space. Iterated restriction branching rule for a symmetric group supplies a basis indexed by standard skew Young tableaux. Every such basis vector is a cyclic vector for a group representation: admissible swaps connect all tableaux, and their off-diagonal coefficients in the Young orthogonal form are nonzero.
