We show that two recent generalizations of symmetric functions-quasi-s
ymmetric functions and noncommutative symmetric functions-can be inter
preted in rite context of the representation theory of the O-Hecke alg
ebras of type A, and provide for them an analogue of Frobenius theory
for the symmetric group.
