A hyperoctahedral analogue of the free Lie algebra (Q1180554): Difference between revisions

The relation between the free Lie algebra and the hypertetrahedral hyperplane complements lattice is extended to the case of the hyperoctahedral group \(B_n\). Let \(os(B_n)\) denote the Orlik-Solomon algebra of the hyperoctahedral hyperplane complements lattice. The author constructs a \(B_n\)-module \(L(n)\) related to \(os(B_n)\) and shows that \(L(n)\) is the transpose of the module \(os(B_n)\) tensored by a sign representation. It is also shown that the action of \(B_n\) on a natural basis of \(L(n)\) is block triangular, the blocks being indexed by the conjugacy class of \(B_n\), and characters of this action restricted to each block are computed.
