Semi-magic matrices for dihedral groups

Abstract

After reviewing the group structure and representation theory for the dihedral group D2n,D_{2n}, we consider an intertwining operator Φρ\Phi_\rho from the group algebra C[D2n]\mathbb{C}[D_{2n}] into a corresponding space of semi-magic matrices. From this intertwining operator, one obtains the generating function for enumerating the associated semi-magic squares with fixed line sum and an algebra extending the circulant matrices. While this work complements the approach to D2nD_{2n} through permutation polytopes, we use only methods from representation theory.
