Let V = C n be endowed with an orthogonal form and G = O(V ) be the corresponding orthogonal group. Brauer showed in 1937 that there is a surjective homomorphism : Br(n)! EndG(V r ), where Br(n) is the r-string Brauer algebra with parameter n. However the kernel of has remained elusive. In this paper we show that, in analogy with the case of GL(V ), for r n + 1, has a kernel which is generated by a single idempotent element E, and we give a simple explicit formula for E. Using the theory of cellular algebras, we show how E may be used to determine the multiplicities of the irreducible representations of O(V ) in V r . We also show how our results extend to the case where C is replaced by an appropriate eld of positive characteristic, and we comment on quantum analogues of our results.
