Abstract

Let Bn be the hyperoctahedral group acting on a complex vector space V. We present a combinatorial method to decompose the tensor algebra T(V) on V into simple modules via certain words in a particular Cayley graph of B n. We then give combinatorial interpretations for the graded dimension and the number of free generators of the subalgebra T(V)B n of invariants of B n, in terms of these words, and make explicit the case of the signed permutation module. To this end, we require a morphism from the Mantaci-Reutenauer algebra onto the algebra of characters due to Bonnafé and Hohlweg.
