Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0716.00007.] The hyperoctahedral group \(H_ n\) is the semi-direct product \(\mathbb{Z}_ 2^ n\rtimes S_ n\), where \(\mathbb{Z}_ 2\) is the cyclic group of order 2 and \(S_ n\) is the symmetric group of degree \(n\). This article considers the projective representations of \(H_ n\) for one of its eight non- equivalent factor sets, or equivalently, the negative representations of the corresponding double cover \(\widetilde H_ n\). The author gives a description of the ring of negative \(\widetilde H_ n\)-supermodules in terms of Schur \(Q\)-functions along the same lines as was presented earlier by him to describe the projective representations of \(S_ n\) [Expo. Math. 1, 193-247 (1989; Zbl 0693.20009)]. The problem had been considered earlier by \textit{A. N. Sergeev} [Mat. Sb., Nov. Ser. 123, 422- 430 (1984; Zbl 0573.17002)] and the author gives an elegant elaboration and extension of the ideas introduced by him.
