Fix $\lambda ⊢n$ and $\rho ⊢n-1$. Write $\rho \nearrow \mu$ when a single addable node of a Young diagram turns $\rho$ into $\mu$. For each positive part ${\lambda }_i$, let ${\lambda }^{\downarrow i}$ be the partition of an integer obtained by decreasing that part by one, sorting, and omitting zeros. The Vershik linear relations areEqual row lengths must be counted separately on the right. Equivalently, if $c(\lambda ,\gamma )$ is the number of rows whose decrement produces $\gamma$, the right side is ${\sum }_{\gamma \nearrow \lambda }c(\lambda ,\gamma )M(\rho ,\gamma )$. There is no multiplicity coefficient on the left because irreducible restriction branching rule for a symmetric group is simple.

To prove the relations, restrict the Young permutation module $M^{\lambda }$ to the subgroup $S_{n-1}$ fixing $n$. The tabloids split into orbits of a group action according to which labeled row contains $n$. Removing that entry gives, for row $i$, the Young permutation module with composition $\lambda -e_i$, which is isomorphic to the one for its sorted partition. HenceIts $V^{\rho }$ multiplicity is the right side. On the other hand decompose $M^{\lambda }$ into irreducible representations first and apply the restriction branching rule for a symmetric group to each summand. Its $V^{\rho }$ multiplicity is then the left side. Equality proves the relation.

For example $\lambda =(2,2)$ restricts to $2M^{(2,1)}$, so the coefficient is two rather than one. For $\lambda =(1^n)$, the regular representation, the relation reduces to ${\sum }_{\mu :\rho \nearrow \mu }\dim V^{\mu }=n\dim V^{\rho }$. These checks emphasize why counting distinct resulting partitions without their row multiplicities would give a false recurrence.
