Explorations of the Aldous Order on Representations of the Symmetric Group

The Aldous order is an ordering of representations of the symmetric group motivated by the Aldous Conjecture, a conjecture about random processes proved in 2009. In general, the Aldous order is very difficult to compute, and the proper relations have yet to be determined even for small cases. Howeve...
