Abstract

We discuss several methods which yield spanning sets for the irreducible polynomial $GL(n,K)$-modules, where $K$ is an infinite field. We show that the spanning set which arises from our first method coincides, up to sign, with the spanning set produced by a method due to Pittaluga and Strickland. We prove that these spanning sets are related to the spanning set produced by a third method via the Désarménien matrix.
