Involutions and the Gelfand character

Abstract

The Gelfand representation of Sn\mathcal{S}_n is the multiplicity-free direct sum of the irreducible representations of Sn\mathcal{S}_n. In this paper, we use a result of Adin, Postnikov, and Roichman to find a recursive generating function for the Gelfand character. In order to find this generating function, we investigate descents of so-called λ\lambda-unimodal involutions.
