Abstract
For a Specht module Sλ for the symmetric group Σd, the cohomology H i(Σd,Sλ) is known only in degree i = 0. We give a combinatorial criterion equivalent to the nonvanishing of the degree i = 1 cohomology, valid in odd characteristic. Our condition generalizes James' solution in degree zero. We apply this combinatorial description to give some computations of Specht module cohomology, together with an explicit description of the corresponding modules. Finally, we suggest some general conjectures that might be particularly amenable to proof using this description.
