A decomposition multiplicity formula for S\F2(n−4,2,12)S_{\F_2}^{(n-4,2,1^2)}

Let n≥6n\geq 6. For a partition λ\lambda and a prime pp, write SFpλS_{\mathbb F_p}^{\lambda} for the corresponding Specht module and DFpμD_{\mathbb F_p}^{\mu} for the simple module indexed by the pp-regular partition μ\mu; [SFpλ:DFpμ][S_{\mathbb F_p}^{\lambda}:D_{\mathbb F_p}^{\mu}] denotes its composition multiplicity. For a congruence condition, {n\conpr}\{n\con_p r\} is 11 when n≡r(modp)n\equiv r\pmod p and 00 otherwise.

Multiplicity formula. The seven asserted formulas in the source hold: for n≥9n\geq9, [SF2(n−4,2,12):DF2(n−4,4)]=1[S_{\mathbb F_2}^{(n-4,2,1^2)}:D_{\mathbb F_2}^{(n-4,4)}]=1; for n≥7n\geq7, [SF2(n−4,2,12):DF2(n−3,3)]={n\con20}[S_{\mathbb F_2}^{(n-4,2,1^2)}:D_{\mathbb F_2}^{(n-3,3)}]=\{n\con_2 0\}; and the remaining five formulas are exactly those displayed in the source statement.

These are explicit decomposition-number assertions for symmetric-group Specht modules. The supplied text gives no resolution status or discussion establishing them, so their conjectural status requires verification.
