What is the effect of tensoring with the sign representation on irreducible modules for a Type D Weyl group?
Given an integer $n \geq 4$, consider the Weyl groups $W(B_n)$ and $W(D_n)$ of types $B_n$ and $D_n$, respectively, and consider their representation theory over the field of complex numbers.
The Weyl ...

When are these irreducible complex representations for the Type D Weyl group self-dual?
Given an integer $n \geq 4$, consider the Weyl groups $W(B_n)$ and $W(D_n)$ of types $B_n$ and $D_n$, respectively, and consider their representation theory over the field of complex numbers.
The Weyl ...

One element commutation classes of reduced decompositions of the longest element of the Weyl group
For the symmetric group on $n$ objects $S_n$ the question of how to write its longest element $w_0$ as a reduced decomposition is an important combinatorical problem. As example, in this question the ...
