The Sylow vertex conjecture for hook Specht modules

About 12 years old · traced to

Let pp be an odd prime, let kk be a positive integer, and let rr be an integer with 0≤r≤kp−10\leq r\leq kp-1. Write S(kp−r,1r)S^{(kp-r,1^r)} for the hook Specht module for the symmetric group Skp\mathfrak{S}_{kp} over a field of characteristic pp. Sylow vertex conjecture. The module S(kp−r,1r)S^{(kp-r,1^r)} has a Sylow pp-subgroup of Skp\mathfrak{S}_{kp} as a vertex. The conjecture is known in the cases described immediately before it, namely when r=pr=p, k≡1(modp)k\equiv 1\pmod p, and k≢1(modp2)k\not\equiv 1\pmod {p^2}; its general status is not resolved here.
