I am an undergraduate student interested in representation theory.
I know that you can decompose the iterated tensor product $(C^n)^otimes k$ into the direct sum of irreducible $S_k times GL(V)$ representations $S^lambda otimes U^lambda$, where the length of $lambda$ is smaller equal n.
For the partitions $(k)$ and $(1^k)$ these are just the symmetric / skewsymmetric tensors.



However, I am interested in the third part (example for k = 3) $S^(21) otimes U^(21)$. I tried to compute both of them seperatly, but I'm stuck somewhere:
I think $U^(21)$ is the kernel of the canonical map $Alt^2(V) otimes V rightarrow Alt^3(V)$. How does $S^(21) otimes U^(21)$ look like though?



And how does this decompositions helps us in any way? I assume the general goal is to compute the multiplicities of irreducible representations?



Thank you in advance for advice!

          Let $tau:V^otimes 3to V^otimes 3$ be defined by $tau(uotimes
          votimes w)=votimes wotimes u$. Then the $S^(21)$ part of
          $V^otimes 3$ is the kernel of $textrmid+tau+tau^2$.

          • Thanks for your quick answer! If I understand you correctly, those are tensors of the form $sum_sigma in A_k v_sigma(1)...v_sigma(3)$. How does that fit/interact with $U^(21)$ though? Shouldn't I get just one subspace, let's say $H^(21)$?

          • No, they aren't. What you write down is the direct sum of the symmetric and antisymmetric tensors: the kernel of $1+tau+tau^2$ is a complement to that. @Amjad
