Abstract: Let $(W,S)$ be a finite Coxeter system. Tits defined an associative product on the set $Sigma$ of simplices of the associated Coxeter complex. The corresponding semigroup algebra is the Solomon-Tits algebra of $W$. It contains the Solomon algebra of $W$ as the algebra of invariants with respect to the natural action of $W$ on $Sigma$. For the symmetric group $S_n$, there is a 1-1 correspondence between $Sigma$ and the set of all set compositions (or ordered set partitions) of $1,\mathrm{...},n$. The product on $Sigma$ has a simple combinatorial description in terms of set compositions. We study in detail the representation theory of the Solomon-Tits algebra of $S_n$ over an arbitrary field, and show how our results relate to the corresponding results on the Solomon algebra of $S_n$. This includes the construction of irreducible and principal indecomposable modules, a description of the Cartan invariants, of the Ext-quiver, and of the descending Loewy series. Our approach builds on a (twisted) Hopf algebra structure on the direct sum of all Solomon-Tits algebras.
