    Abstract

    Let Hn be the Iwahori-Hecke algebra of the symmetric group Sn, and let Z(Hn) denote its centre. Let B = {b1,b2, ... ,bt} be a basis for Z(Hn) over R = Z[q, q- 1]. Then B is called multiplicative if, for every i and j, there exists k such that bibj = bk. In this article we prove that no multiplicative bases for Z(ZSn) and Z(Hn) when n ≥ 3. In addition, we prove that there exist exactly two multiplicative bases for Z(ZS2) and none for Z(H2).
