Young Modules and Schur algebras

Abstract

We compute explicitly the submodule structure of the Young modules for symmetric groups $S_n$ over fields of characteristic 2, when $n\le 7$. We use this information to compute the submodule structure of indecomposable projectives for the corresponding Schur algebras when $n\le 5$, and we give give partial information when n=6,7, including the Gabriel quiver and the structure of the Weyl modules. We resolve all Morita equivalences between blocks of these algebras.
