International audience A finite subgroup $G$ of $GL(n,\mathbb{C})$ is involutory if the sum of the dimensions of its irreducible complex representations is given by the number of absolute involutions in the group, i.e. elements $g \in G$ such that $g \bar{g}=1$, where the bar denotes complex conjugation. A uniform combinatorial model is constructed for all non-exceptional irreducible complex reflection groups which are involutory including, in particular, all infinite families of finite irreducible Coxeter groups. If $G$ is a classical Weyl group this result is much refined in a way which is compatible with the Robinson-Schensted correspondence on involutions. Un sous-groupe fini $G$ de GL(n,ℂ) est dit involutoire si la somme des dimensions de ses représentations irréductibles complexes est donné par le nombre de involutions absolues dans le groupe, c'est-a-dire le nombre de éléments $g \in G$ tels que $g \bar{g}=1$, où le bar dénote la conjugaison complexe. Un modèle combinatoire uniforme est construit pour tous les groupes de réflexions complexes irréductibles qui sont involutoires, en comprenant, toutes les familles de groupes de Coxeter finis irréductibles. Si $G$ est un groupe de Weyl ce résultat peut se raffiner d'une manière compatible avec la correspondance de Robinson-Schensted sur les involutions.

The Rouquier blocks of the cyclotomic Hecke algebras, introduced by Rouquier, are a substitute for the families of characters defined by Lusztig for Weyl groups, which can be applied to all complex reflection groups. In this article, we determine them for the cyclotomic Hecke algebras of the groups of the infinite seriesG(de, e, r), thus completing their calculation for all complex reflection groups.

AbstractIwahori-Hecke algebras for the infinite series of complex reflection groups G(r, p, n) were constructed recently in the work of Ariki and Koike [AK], Broué andMalle [BM], and Ariki [Ari]. In this paper we give Murnaghan-Nakayama type formulas for computing the irreducible characters of these algebras. Our method is a generalization of that in our earlier paper [HR] in whichwe derivedMurnaghan-Nakayama rules for the characters of the Iwahori-Hecke algebras of the classical Weyl groups. In both papers we have been motivated by C. Greene [Gre], who gave a new derivation of the Murnaghan-Nakayama formula for irreducible symmetric group characters by summing diagonal matrix entries in Young's seminormal representations. We use the analogous representations of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra of G(r, p, n) given by Ariki and Koike [AK] and Ariki [Ari].

In 1994, M. Bożejko and R. Speicher proved the existence of completely positive quasimultiplicative maps from the group algebra of Coxeter groups to the set of bounded operators. They used some of them to define an inner product associated to creation and annihilation operators on a direct sum of Hilbert space tensor powers called full Fock space. Afterwards, A. Mathas and R. Orellana defined in 2008 a length function on imprimitive complex reflection groups that allowed them to introduce an analogue to the descent algebra of Coxeter groups. In this article, we use the length function defined by A. Mathas and R. Orellana to extend the result of M. Bożejko and R. Speicher to imprimitive complex reflection groups, in other words to prove the existence of completely positive quasimultiplicative maps from the group algebra of imprimitive complex reflection groups to the set of bounded operators. Some of those maps are then used to define a more general inner product associated to creation and annihilation operators on the full Fock space. Recall that in quantum mechanics, the state of a physical system is represented by a vector in a Hilbert space, and the creation and annihilation operators act on a Fock state by respectively adding and removing a particle in the ascribed quantum state.

International audience We prove that the noncrossing partition lattices associated with the complex reflection groups G(d, d, n) for d, n ≥ 2 admit a decomposition into saturated chains that are symmetric about the middle ranks. A consequence of this result is that these lattices have the strong Sperner property, which asserts that the cardinality of the union of the k largest antichains does not exceed the sum of the k largest ranks for all k ≤ n. Subsequently, we use a computer to complete the proof that any noncrossing partition lattice associated with a well-generated complex reflection group is strongly Sperner, thus affirmatively answering a special case of a question of D. Armstrong. This was previously established only for the Coxeter groups of type A and B.

We study the Schur elements and the a-function for cyclotomic Hecke algebras. As a consequence, we show the existence of canonical basic sets, as defined by Geck–Rouquier, for certain complex reflection groups. This includes the case of finite Weyl groups for all choices of parameters (in characteristic 0).

International audience We introduce the class of projective reflection groups which includes all complex reflection groups. We show that several aspects involving the combinatorics and the representation theory of complex reflection groups find a natural description in this wider setting. On introduit la classe des groupes de réflexions projectifs, ce qui généralise la notion de groupe engendré par des réflexions. On montre que plusieurs aspects concernant la combinatoire et la théorie des représentations des groupes de réflexions complexes trouvent une description naturelle dans ce cadre plus général.

Four-level quantum systems, known as quartits, and their relation to two-qubit systems are investigated group theoretically. Following the spirit of Klein's lectures on the icosahedron and their relation to Hopf sphere fibrations, invariants of complex reflection groups occurring in the theory of qubits and quartits are displayed. Then, real gates over octits leading to the Weyl group of E8 and its invariants are derived. Even multilevel systems are of interest in the context of solid state nuclear magnetic resonance.

International audience Projective reflection groups have been recently defined by the second author. They include a special class of groups denoted G(r,p,s,n) which contains all classical Weyl groups and more generally all the complex reflection groups of type G(r,p,n). In this paper we define some statistics analogous to descent number and major index over the projective reflection groups G(r,p,s,n), and we compute several generating functions concerning these parameters. Some aspects of the representation theory of G(r,p,s,n), as distribution of one-dimensional characters and computation of Hilbert series of some invariant algebras, are also treated. Les groupes de réflexions projectifs ont été récemment définis par le deuxième auteur. Ils comprennent une classe spéciale de groupes notée G(r,p,s,n), qui contient tous les groupes de Weyl classiques et plus généralement tous les groupes de réflexions complexes du type G(r,p,n). Dans ce papier on définit des statistiques analogues au nombre de descentes et à l'indice majeur pour les groupes G(r,p,s,n), et on calcule plusieurs fonctions génératrices. Certains aspects de la théorie des représentations de G(r,p,s,n), comme la distribution des caractères linéaires et le calcul de la série de Hilbert de quelques algèbres d'invariants, sont aussi abordés.
