Introduction. The irreducible representations of the symmetric group Sn, were shown by A. Young to be in one-to-one correspondence with certain arrays of n nodes. E.g. for n = 12 and the partition λ = [4, 4, 3, 1] we have the array which we call a “Young diagram.” The question arises as to the manner in which various properties of the representations are reflected in their corresponding Young diagrams.
