In particular we make sense of the sentence \"$\\underline{Rep}(S_n)$ is the limit of $Rep(S_{p+n})$ over $\\bar{\\mathbb{F}}_p$ as $p$ goes to infinity\". We then give examples of how to pass results between these different settings.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-01-13T22:07:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "deligne categories", "general linear", "modular representations", "symmetric groups", "large rank" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2016arXiv160103426H" } } }
