symmetric tensor


Let V be a vector spaceMathworldPlanetmath over a field. Let Sn be the symmetric groupMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath on {1,,n}. An order-n tensor (http://planetmath.org/TensorProduct) AVn is said to be if P(σ)A=A for all σSn, where P(σ) is the permutation operator associated to σ. The set of symmetric tensors in Vn is denoted by Sn(V).
