%0 Journal Article %T The vertices and sources of the natural simple module for the alternating group in even characteristic %A Susanne Danz %A Jščrgen Mščller %J Mathematics %D 2009 %I arXiv %X For $n\geq 5$ the natural permutation module for the alternating group $\mathfrak{A}_n$ has a unique non-trivial composition factor, being called its natural simple module. We determine the vertices and sources of the natural simple $\mathfrak{A}_n$-module over fields of characteristic 2. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0909.0830v1
