Cells and Constructible Representations in type B

We examine the partition of a finite Coxeter group of type $B$ into cells determined by a weight function $L$. The main objective of these notes is to reconcile Lusztig's description of constructible representations in this setting with conjectured combinatorial descriptions of cells.Comment: 15 pages, 5 figure

Knuth Relations for the Hyperoctahedral Groups

C. Bonnaf{\'e}, M. Geck, L. Iancu, and T. Lam have conjectured a description of one-sided cells in unequal parameter Hecke algebras of type $B$ which is based on domino tableaux of arbitrary rank. In the integer case, this generalizes the work of D. Garfinkle whose methods we adapt to construct a family of operators which generate the conjectured combinatorial description.Comment: 23 page

On the classification of primitive ideals for complex classical Lie algebras, IV

This paper is the fourth and last in the series "On the classification of primitive ideals for complex classical Lie algebras", extending earlier results in other classical types to type D. The generalized tau-invariant used in earlier work must now be defined in a different way, using a family of operators attached to a quadruple of simple roots spanning a subsystem of type D_4. each taking one or two values. Using these operators we show that primitive ideals of trivial infinitesimal character are characterized by their generalized tau-invariants and are parametrized by standard domino tableaux of the appropriate special shape.Comment: 32 page
