The permutation character of a coset action on is . The tensor identity for an induced character therefore gives
If is irreducible, then Frobenius reciprocity gives
Both and are irreducible, so
Use the character formula for an induced representation. For ,
The middle equality uses that a character of a representation is constant on conjugacy classes. This proves the tensor identity for an induced character.
The point-permutation character is
By the tensor identity for an induced character and Frobenius reciprocity,
The restriction branching rule for a symmetric group is multiplicity-free with one constituent for each member of , so the right side is . Also because every symmetric-group character is real and irreducible. Subtracting the trivial constituent proves the standard-character multiplicity in a Specht self-product formula
