The hyperoctahedral group Gn of order 2nn! is generated by permutations and sign changes applied to n digits, d = 1, 2,…, n. The 2n sign changes generate a normal subgroup ∑n whose factor group Gn/∑n is isomorphic with the symmetric group Sn of order n!. To each irreducible orthogonal representation ‹X; μ› of Gn corresponds an ordered pair of partitions [λ] of l and [μ] of m, where l+m = n.
