The Littlewood-Richardson rule for wreath products with symmetric groups and the quiver of the category $F \wr {\bf FI}_n$

Abstract

We give a new proof for the Littlewood-Richardson rule for the wreath product $F \wr S_{n}$ where $F$ is a finite group. Our proof does not use symmetric functions but more elementary representation theoretic tools. We also derive a branching rule for inducing the natural embedding of $F\wr S_{n}$ to $F\wr S_{n+1}$. We then apply the generalized Littlewood-Richardson rule for computing the ordinary quiver of the category $F \wr {\bf FI}_{n}$ where ${\bf FI}_{n}$ is the category of all injective functions between subsets of an $n$-element set.
