Abstract

We consider the Green polynomials at roots of unity. We obtain a recursive formula for the Green polynomials at roots of unity whose orders do not exceed some positive integer. The formula is described in a combinatorial manner. The coefficients of the recursive formula are realized by the cardinality of a set of permutations. The formula gives an interpretation of a combinatorial property on a family of graded modules for the symmetric group in terms of representation theory.
