Abstract :
We consider a finite subgroup Θn of the group O(N) of orthogonal matrices, where N=2n, n=1, 2, ... . This group was defined in [4] and we use it to construct spherical designs in the 2n-dimensional Euclidean space RN. We prove that representations ρ1, ρ2 and ρ3 of the group Θn on the spaces of harmonic polynomials of degrees 1, 2 and 3 respectively are irreducible. This together with the earlier results [1, 3] imply that the orbit Θn,2x of any initial point x on the unit sphere SN-1 is a 7-design in the Euclidean space of dimension 2n
