Representation theory of the 0-Hecke algebra (Q1092158)

Let \(H_ n(q)\) be the Hecke algebra of the symmetric group \(S_ n\). Let C and D be the decomposition matrix and the Cartan matrix of the finite dimensional (over \({\mathbb{C}})\) algebra \(H_ n(0)\) (they are of the size \(r(n)\times 2^{n-1}\) and \(2^{n-1}\times 2^{n-1}\) respectively where r(n) is the number of conjugacy classes in \(S_ n)\). The author gives an interpretation of the equation \(C=D^ tD\) in terms of the Robinson- Schensted bijection between permutations and pairs of standard tableaux of the same shape.
