On the ∗-cocharacter sequence of 3×3 matrices
2000
Abstract Let M 3 (F) be the algebra of 3×3 matrices with involution * over a field F of characteristic zero. We study the ∗ -polynomial identities of M 3 (F) , where ∗=t is the transpose involution, through the representation theory of the hyperoctahedral group B n . After decomposing the space of multilinear ∗ -polynomial identities of degree n under the B n -action, we determine which irreducible B n -modules appear with non-zero multiplicity. In symbols, we write the nth ∗ -cocharacter χ n (M 3 (F),*)=∑ r=0 n ∑ λ⊢r,h(λ)⩽6 μ⊢n−r,h(μ)⩽3 m λ,μ χ λ,μ , where λ and μ are partitions of r and n−r , respectively, χ λ,μ is the irreducible B n -character associated to the pair (λ,μ) and m λ,μ ⩾0 i…
