GRA2 - Groups, representations and applications: new perspectives

In characteristic 2 any representation of a double cover of a symmetric group $\widetilde{S}_n$ can also be viewed as a representation of $S_n$. However, apart for leading composition factors and their multiplicity, only very few results are known about the corresponding decomposition matrices. In this talk I will characterise irreducible representations that appear when reducing spin representations indexed by 2-parts partitions to characteristic 2 and show how most of the corresponding decomposition numbers can be obtained.
