In a previous paper (see A. Garsia and C. Reutenauer (Adt,. in Math. 77, 1989, 189-262)). we have studied algebraic properties of the descent algebras X,,, and shown how these are related to the canonical decomposition of the free Lie algebra corresponding to a version of the PoincarE-Birkhoff-Witt
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 co
