Some Properties of Generalized Foulkes Module

Abstract: Describing the decomposition of Foulkes module $F_b^a$ into irreducible Specht modules is an open problem for $a,b > 3$. In this article we provide a new approach for the Generalized Foulkes module $F_{\nu}^a$ (with arbitrary partition $\nu$ of $b$) through its restriction to a maximal Young subgroup ${S_b \times S_{ab -b}}$.
