A Type B Analog of the Whitehouse Representation
Abstract.
We give a Type B analog of Whitehouse's lifts of the Eulerian representations from
Sn to Sn+1 by introducing a family of
Bn-representations that lift to Bn+1. As in Type
A, we interpret these representations combinatorially via a family of orthogonal idempotents in the Mantaci-Reutenauer algebra, and topologically as the graded pieces of the cohomology of a certain Z2-orbit configuration space of R3. We show that the lifted Bn+1-representations also have a configuration space interpretation, and further parallel the Type A story by giving analogs of many of its notable properties, such as connections to equivariant cohomology and the Varchenko-Gelfand ring.
