Review text

The paper presents a variety of results of the type ``completeness implies symmetric completeness. Symmetric completeness of order k of a family of probability measures means that the family of k th powers of the probability measures is complete for the family of symmetric functions. The key tool is a polarization lemma which is proved in the appendix of the paper.
