Acyclicity of Schur complexes and torsion freeness of Schur modules

Let R be a Noetherian commutative ring and M a R -module with pdRM≤1 that has rank. Necessary and sufficient conditions were provided in [1] for an exterior power ∧kM to be torsion free. When M is an ideal of R similar necessary and sufficient conditions were provided in [2] for a symmetric power SkM to be torsion free. We extend these results to a broad class of Schur modules Lλ/μM. En route, for any map of finite free R modules ϕ:F→G we also study the general structure of the Schur complexes Lλ/μϕ, and provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the acyclicity of any given Lλ/μϕ by computing explicitly the radicals of the ideals of maximal minors of all its differentials.
