A character relationship between symmetric group and hyperoctahedral group

Representation Theory 2020-03-24 v2 Number Theory

Abstract

We relate character theory of the symmetric groups S2nS_{2n} and S2n+1S_{2n+1} with that of the hyperoctahedral group Bn=(Z/2)nSnB_n = ({\mathbb Z}/2)^n \rtimes S_n, as part of the expectation that the character theory of reductive groups with diagram automorphism and their Weyl groups, is related to the character theory of the fixed subgroup of the diagram automorphism.
