hyperoctahedralGroupTable -- character table of the hyperoctahedral group

Usage:

hyperoctahedralGroupTable(n,F)
Inputs:
- n, an integer, positive
- F, a ring, a field
Outputs:
- an instance of the type CharacterTable,

Description

Returns the character table of the hyperoctahedral group $H_n$ over the field F. The irreducible characters are indexed by bipartitions of $n$, i.e., pairs of partitions of two integers adding up to $n$.
