Let Sn be the symmetric group on n letters and L a field. Given a partition λ of the integer n, we have an LSn-module S called the Specht module corresponding to λ. If the characteristic of L is zero, the set of them as λ runs through the partitions of n forms a full set of representatives of the non-isomorphic simple LSn-modules. If L has prime characteristic, say p, they are not necessarily simple. However, if the partition λ is p-regular, the head of S, denoted by D, is simple and they cover all the non-isomorphic simple modules as λ runs through the p-regular partitions of n. One of the main concerns about the Specht modules is to have information about the simple constituents of them. Especially, we want to know about p-regular partitions μ such that D is a constituent of S from the knowledge of λ. Concerning this, Carter and Payne’s theorem (see [1, Theorem, p. 425]) is often powerful. On the other hand the Jantzen– Schaper theorem (see Theorem 1) tells us that if we know the decomposition numbers for the Specht modules which correspond to partitions which strictly dominate λ, we can determine all the simple constituents of S. Their methods involve certain operations on the partitions λ introduced by James and Murphy [5], each of which is roughly interpreted as a rim hook removal followed by addition on the Young diagram corresponding to λ. We shall call each of the resulting partitions a branch of λ and write λ → μ if λ = μ or μ is obtained by making branches successively beginning with λ. The Jantzen–Schaper theorem tells in particular that if D is a constituent of S, it follows that λ → μ. Of course the converse is not
