Abstract

The characteristic free representation theory of the general linear group has found a wide range of applications, ranging from the theory of free resolutions to the symmetric function theory. Representation theory is used to facilitate the calculation of explicit free resolutions of large classes of ideals (and modules). Recently, K. Akin and D. A. Buchsbaum [2] realized the Jacobi-Trudi identity for a Schur function as a resolution of GL$_{n}$-modules. Over a field of characteristic zero, it was observed by A. Lascoux [6]. T.Jozefiak and J.Weyman [5] used the Koszul complex to realize a formula of D.E. Littlewood as a resolution of schur modules. This leads us to further study resolutions of Schur modules of a particular form. In this article we will describe some new classes of finite free resolutions associated to the Pieri type skew Young diagrams. As a special case of these finite free resolutions we obtain the generalized Koszul complex constructed in [1]. In section 2 we review some of the basic difinitions and properties of Schur modules that we shall use. In section 3 we describe certain exact complexes associated to the Pieri type skew partitions. Throughout this article, unless otherwise specified, R is a commutative ring with an identity element and a mudule F is a finitely generated free R-module.e.
