Abstract

A relation between certain irreducible character values of the hyperoctahedral group BnB_n (Z/2ZSn\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z} \wr S_n) and the symmetric group S2nS_{2n} was proved by F. L\"ubeck and D. Prasad in 2021. Their proof is algebraic in nature and uses Lie theory. Using combinatorial methods, R. Adin and Y. Roichman proved a similar relation between certain character values of GSnG\wr S_n and SrnS_{rn}, where GG is an abelian group of order rr (generalizing the result of L\"ubeck-Prasad). Using their result, we prove yet another relation between certain irreducible character values of GSnG\wr S_n and SrnS_{rn}, where GG is an abelian group of order rr.
