Abstract
Given a vector space E consider the pth tensorial power ⊗pE and let S p denote the permutation group on p letters. Then every permutation σ ∊ S p determines a linear automorphism of ⊗pE (also denoted by σ) defined by
All vector spaces in this chapter are defined over a field of characteristic zero.
