Since any two-sided cell of An is a union of some RL-equivalence classes of An'this implies that the number of two-sided cells of A is finite and is less than or equal n to the number of partitions of n. So far, all the results here have been obtained by our own elementary methods and do not rely on the knowledge of the intersection cohomology theory. But now we shall use a recent result of Lusztig, ie Theorem 1.5. 3 [L12] in Chapter 1 to prove that any RL-equivalence class of An is actually a two-sided cell of An'Then we can determine the exact number of two-sided cells of An which is equal to the number of partitions of n. This result of Lusztig comes from the deep theory of intersection cohomology. We understand that Lusztig [L13] showed the main result of this chapter in the similar way as we do. But we do this independently. To show our result, we shall first give some lemmas. The notation y? w means that y, ware in the same two-sided cell of An'
