In this paper we use partial maps on Littlewood-Richardson tableaux to generalize this result to finite direct sums of such embeddings. As an application to invariant subspaces of nilpotent linear operators, we develop a critereon to decide if two irreducible components in the representation space are in the boundary partial order.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-07-19T15:48:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "16G10", "20K27", "14L30" ], "keywords": [ "finite direct sums", "invariant subspace varieties", "cyclic embeddings", "application", "boundary partial order" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
