The direct-sum transfer of Schur vanishing #
Deligne 1.13, first half: if a Schur functor kills X and one
kills Y, a fat-hook Schur functor kills X ⊞ Y. The identity
of (X ⊞ Y)^⊗n expands over mixed words; each mixed inclusion
sorts to the standard block inclusion; the central idempotent of
λ then meets the complete family of embedded block idempotents,
where every term dies — by the induction kill when the multiplicity
vanishes, and through the killed factor and naturality when it does
not, since a nonzero multiplicity pushes a bounding-box cell into
μ' or ν' (Deligne 1.10).
Transport of the group-algebra action along an arity equality.
The embedded block idempotents are a complete family.
A central element commutes with every permutation action.
The permutation action followed by its inverse is the identity.
The direct-sum transfer (Deligne 1.13, ⊕ half): Schur
vanishing for X at μ and Y at ν forces Schur vanishing for
X ⊞ Y at every diagram containing the fat-hook cell of the two
bounding boxes.
