Abstract

A character identity which relates irreducible character values of the hyperocta-hedral group B_n to those of the symmetric group S_2n was recently proved by Lübeck and Prasad. Their proof is algebraic and involves Lie theory. We present a short combinatorial proof of this identity, as well as a generalization to other wreath products.
