Abstract
A Gelfand model for a finite group is a complex representation of , which is isomorphic to the direct sum of all irreducible representations of . When is isomorphic to a subgroup of , where is the field of complex numbers, it has been proved that each -module over is isomorphic to a -submodule in the polynomial ring , and taking the space of zeros of certain -invariant operators in the Weyl algebra, a finite-dimensional -space in can be obtained, which contains all the simple -modules over . This type of representation has been named polynomial model. It has been proved that when is a Coxeter group, the polynomial model is a Gelfand model for if, and only if, has not an irreducible factor of type , , or . This paper presents a model of Gelfand for a Weyl group of type whose construction is based on the same principles as the polynomial model.
