Let $\mathcal{B}_n$ be the hyperoctahedral group acting on a complex vector space $\mathcal{V}$. We present a combinatorial method to decompose the tensor algebra $T(\mathcal{V})$ on $\mathcal{V}$ into simple modules via certain words in a particular Cayley graph of $\mathcal{B}_n$. We then give combinatorial interpretations for the graded dimension and the number of free generators of the subalgebra $T(\mathcal{V})^{\mathcal{B}_n}$ of invariants of $\mathcal{B}_n$, in terms of these words, and make explicit the case of the signed permutation module. To this end, we require a morphism from the Mantaci-Reutenauer algebra onto the algebra of characters due to Bonnafé and Hohlweg.

Soit $\mathcal{B}_n$ le groupe hyperoctaédral agissant sur un espace vectoriel complexe $\mathcal{V}$. Nous présentons une méthode combinatoire donnant la décomposition de l'algèbre $T(\mathcal{V})$ des tenseurs sur $\mathcal{V}$ en modules simples via certains mots dans un graphe de Cayley donné. Nous donnons ensuite des interprétations combinatoires pour la dimension graduée et le nombre de générateurs libres de la sous-algèbre $T(\mathcal{V})^{\mathcal{B}_n}$ des invariants de $\mathcal{B}_n$, en termes de ces mots, et explicitons le cas du module de permutation signé. À cette fin, nous utilisons un morphisme entre l'algèbre de Mantaci-Reutenauer et l'algèbre des caractères introduit par Bonnafé et Hohlweg.
