The symbolic method and representation theory (Q1803602)

Let \(K\) be an algebraically closed field and let \(V\) be an \(n\)- dimensional vector space over \(K\). Let \(W\) be a vector space of the form \(\Lambda^{k(1)} (V)\times\cdots\times\Lambda^{k(r)} (V)\times S^{h(1)}(V)\times\cdots\times S^{h(p)} (V)\), where \(\Lambda^k(V)\) (resp. \(S^k(V)\)) denotes the space of skew-symmetric (resp. symmetric) tensors of step \(k\). We shall always assume that \(\text{char }K=0\) or \(> h(i)!\) for \(i=1,\dots, p\). The group \(G=\text{GL}(V)\) acts on \(W\) in the usual way and, also, on the algebra \(K[W]\) of polynomial functions on \(W\). Let \(U\) be a maximal unipotent subgroup of \(G\). In this paper, we apply the symbolic method to study \(K[W]^U\), the algebra of \(U\)- invariants on \(K[W]\). The symbolic method gives an explicit construction of these invariants.
