In 1978 Almkvist and Fossum examined the decomposition of the exterior powers of basis modules in the modular representation algebra of a cyclic group of prime order. In particular they developed an isomorphism between these exterior powers and terms of binomial coefficient type in the algebra.

We derive several recurrence relations for these terms.
