Specht module branching rules for wreath products of symmetric groups
Algebraic Combinatorics, Volume 5 (2022) no. 4, pp. 609-628.

We review a class of modules for the wreath product S m S n of two symmetric groups which are analogous to the Specht modules of the symmetric group, and prove a pair of branching rules for this family of modules. These branching rules describe the behaviour of these wreath product Specht modules under restriction to the wreath products S m-1 S n and S m S n-1 . In particular, we see that these restrictions of wreath product Specht modules have Specht module filtrations, and we obtain combinatorial interpretations of the multiplicities in these filtrations.
