Abstract

top
We construct a subalgebra Σ ′ ( W n ) of dimension 2 · 3 n - 1 of the group algebra of the Weyl group W n of type B n containing its usual Solomon algebra and the one of 𝔖 n : Σ ′ ( W n ) is nothing but the Mantaci-Reutenauer algebra but our point of view leads us to a construction of a surjective morphism of algebras Σ ′ ( W n ) → Z Irr ( W n ) . Jöllenbeck’s construction of irreducible characters of the symmetric group by using the coplactic equivalence classes can then be transposed to W n . In an appendix, P. Baumann and C. Hohlweg present in an explicit and combinatorial way the relation between this construction of the irreducible characters of W n and that of W. Specht.
