摘要
We use the recently-proved conjecture of Mullineux to determine which modular irreducible representations of the symmetric group Sigma(n) split on restriction to A(n), and which remain irreducible (everything taking place over a splitting field for A(n) of characteristic p > 2). An indexing of the absolutely irreducible representations of A(n) is thus obtained. A modular analogue of the Frobenius symbol for a partition is introduced, which makes the Mullineux map somewhat more intuitive.
