Extract

The aim of this paper is to prove some results involving Weyl groups which are useful in an application to give a combinatorial construction of representations of Weyl groups which generalizes the well-known Young tableau method for symmetric groups. A preliminary version of these applications has been given in [12]. As these results seem to be of independent interest they are gathered together in the present paper.
