A coplactic class in the symmetric group ${{\mathcal{S}}_{n}}$ consists of all permutations in ${{\mathcal{S}}_{n}}$ with a given Schensted $Q$ -symbol, and may be described in terms of local relations introduced by Knuth. Any Lie element in the group algebra of ${{\mathcal{S}}_{n}}$ which is constant on coplactic classes is already constant on descent classes. As a consequence, the intersection of the Lie convolution algebra introduced by Patras and Reutenauer and the coplactic algebra introduced by Poirier and Reutenauer is the direct sum of all Solomon descent algebras.
