Using work of Doty on the submodule structure of symmetric powers of the natural GL_d(k) module together with work of Andersen on cohomology for B and its Frobenius kernels, we prove new results about H^i(\\Sigma_d, S^\\lambda). We recover work of James in the case i=0. Then we prove two stability theorems, one of which is a \"generic cohomology\" result for Specht modules equating cohomology of S^{p\\lambda} with S^{p^2\\lambda}. This is the first theorem we know relating Specht modules S^\\lambda and S^{p\\lambda}. The second result equates cohomology of S^\\lambda with S^{\\lambda + p^a\\mu} for large a.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-01-28T13:48:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20C30", "20G10" ], "keywords": [ "generic cohomology", "second result equates cohomology", "general linear group", "specht modules equating cohomology", "symmetric group results" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0803.3764H" } } }
