Abstract: Take a sequence of couples (Gn,Kn)n, where Gn is a group and Kn is a sub-group of Gn. Under some conditions, we are able to give a formula that shows the form of the structure coefficients that appear in the product of double-classes of Kn in Gn. We show how this can give us a similar result for the structure coefficients of the centers of group algebras. These formulas allow us to re-obtain the polynomiality property of the structure coefficients in the cases of the center of the symmetric group algebra and the Hecke algebra of the pair (mathcalS2n,mathcalBn). We also give a new polynomiality property for the structure coefficients of the center of the hyperoctahedral group algebra and the double-class algebra mathbbC[diag(mathcalSn−1)setminusmathcalSnimesmathcalSn−1opp/diag(mathcalSn−1)].


Let \((G_n,K_n)_n\) be a sequence of couples, where \(G_n\) is a group, \(K_n\) is a subgroup of \(G_n.\) Moreover, assume that \(G_n \subseteq G_{n+1}\) and that \(K_n \subseteq K_{n+1}\), for every \(n.\) Then, one can consider the sequence \(K_n \backslash G_n / K_n\) of double-classes of \(K_n\) in \(G_n.\) The main contribution of the paper is Theorem 2.7, where, under further conditions, the author provides an explicit formula for the coefficients that appear in the product of double-classes of \(K_n\) in \(G_n.\) The formula looks rather complicated but it can be used to determine the structure coefficients for specific algebras. The authors shows how this result can be applied to several relevant examples such as the center of the symmetric group algebra and the Hecke algebra of the pair \((S_{2n},\mathcal B_n),\) the double-class algebra of the pair \((S_n \times S_{n-1}^{\mathrm{opp}} ,\mathrm{diag}(S_{n-1}))\) and the center of the hyperoctahedral group algebra.
