Linking first occurrence polynomials over F_p by Steenrod operations
Pham Anh Minh, Grant Walker
Abstract.
This paper provides analogues of the results of [G.Walker and
R.M.W. Wood, Linking first occurrence polynomials over F_2 by Steenrod
operations, J. Algebra 246 (2001), 739--760] for odd primes p. It is
proved that for certain irreducible representations L(\lambda ) of the
full matrix semigroup M_n(F_p), the first occurrence of L(\lambda ) as
a composition factor in the polynomial algebra P=F_p[x_1,...,x_n] is
linked by a Steenrod operation to the first occurrence of L(\lambda )
as a submodule in P. This operation is given explicitly as the image
of an admissible monomial in the Steenrod algebra A_p under the
canonical anti-automorphism \chi . The first occurrences of both kinds
are also linked to higher degree occurrences of L(\lambda ) by
elements of the Milnor basis of A_p.
