The S-function , where is the ‘new multiplication' or plethysm of D. E. Littlewood [1], corresponds, in the sense defined below in (1), to the character afforded by a representation of the symmetric group Slm induced from a representation of the subgroup . The aim of this paper is to define the latter representation and deduce its character using a somewhat different approach from that in [3].
