Abstract

Let G be a subgroup of Sm and suppose χ is an irreducible complex character of G. Let Hd(G, χ) be the symmetry class of polynomials of degree d with respect to G and χ. Let V be an (d + 1)-dimensional inner product space over ℂ and Vχ(G) be the symmetry class of tensors associated with G and χ. A monomorphism Hd(G, χ) → Vχ(G) is given and it is used to obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for nonvanishing Hd(G, χ). The nonexistence of o-basis of Hd(Sm, χπ) for a certain class of irreducible characters of Sm is concluded. The dimensions of symmetry classes of polynomials with respect to the irreducible characters of Sm and Am are computed.
