A new basis for the representation ring of a Weyl group

Let W be a Weyl group. In this paper we define a new basis for the Grothendieck group of representations of W. This basis contains on the one hand the special representations of W and on the other hand the representations of W carried by the left cells of W. We show that the representations in the n...

description Let W be a Weyl group. In this paper we define a new basis for the Grothendieck group of representations of W. This basis contains on the one hand the special representations of W and on the other hand the representations of W carried by the left cells of W. We show that the representations in the new basis have a certain bipositivity property.
