Title: A Dual Construction of Specht Modules and the Straightening Algorithm

Abstract: This week we first demonstrate corollaries stemming from the isomorphism between the ring of symmetric functions and the representation ring of symmetric groups, before discussing a dual construction via column tabloids, and an isomorphism from Specht modules to isoclasses of standard tableaux. We then move onto the straightening algorithm, a way of decomposing Specht modules into sums of classes of standard tableaux.
