On conjectures of Foulkes, Siemons and Wagner and Stanley

Let A = (AI, ... ,Ar ) be a partition of n. An unordered A-tabloid is a partition of the set {I, 2, ... , n} into r pairwise disjoint sets of sizes AI, ,Ar . Let F denote the field of complex numbers and C the symmetric group of {I, 2, , n}. Define HA to be the permutation module of FC whose basis i...
