Extract

In his attempt to give the irreducible characters of the Weyl groups of type A, B and D, Mayer [3] found a unified theory using their common structure as reflection groups. In this paper, we give the characters of the complex imprimitive reflection groups. We are able to give an algorithm which allows us to calculate the irreducible components of the principal character of a ‘Weyl’ subgroup induced up to the whole group. This is a generalization of the algorithm given by Mayer.
