Abstract

Abstract Solomon's descent algebra is generated by sums of descent classes corresponding to certain hook shapes. This particularly implies that the ring of class functions of any finite symmetric group S n is generated by the irreducible characters corresponding to certain hook partitions of n . As another consequence, a second generating set of Solomon's descent algebra (and of the ring of class functions of S n ) is obtained related to the major index of permutations.
