Understanding Young Diagrams from Physics 751: Solving Eqn 4.14

In summary, Young diagrams are a visual representation of symmetries in physics and are used to solve equations and study particle behavior. They are important in predicting particle behavior and simplifying equations. Young diagrams are used in solving Eqn 4.14 to determine symmetries and particle representations. Eqn 4.14 represents a mathematical equation used to describe particle behavior in a system, and learning about Young diagrams requires knowledge of group theory and representation theory.

Hello my friends! I'm trying to learn the meaning of young diagrams from Christoph Lüdelins physics751 (google it :) but I can't figure out what is happening in eqn 4.14.
I understand why 4.13 are the possible p-cycles but how does eqn 4.14 apply to this S_5 example?

(Sorry that I could not link it, I'm writing this from my phone.)
Thanks!
