In the complex symmetric-group algebra, normalize a Young symmetrizer by et​=ht​/Hλ​. The row-column collision lemma proves et​Aet​=Cet​, so et​ is a primitive idempotent and Aet​ is an irreducible left module. Different shapes are separated by the vanishing corner hλ​Ahμ​=0 for λ>μ. Counting conjugacy classes then proves that these modules exhaust the simple modules.
