Title: Representations of the Symmetric Group and a Straightening Algorithm

Abstract: This week, we'll conclude our overview of the representation theory of the symmetric group by discussing a "straightening algorithm". This will allow us to obtain a presentation of the Specht module. Before introducing facts and constructions of linear algebra which will be used throughout the next section: Representations of the general linear group, we will work through an example to illustrate some results we have learned in the past few weeks.
