The intrinsic hyperplane arrangement in an arbitrary irreducible representation of the symmetric group

Abstract: For every irreducible complex representation~$\pi_\lambda$ of the symmetric group~$\S_n$, we construct, in a canonical way, a so-called intrinsic hyperplane arrangement~$\A_{\lambda}$ in the space of~$\pi_\lambda$. This arrangement is a direct generalization of the classical braid arrangement (which is the special case of our construction corresponding to the natural representation of~$\S_n$), has a natural description in terms of invariant subspaces of Young subgroups, and enjoys a number of remarkable properties.
