Abstract: Let so3(K) be the Lie algebra of 3imes3 skew-symmetric matrices over a field K of characteristic 0. The ideal I(M3(K),so3(K)) of the weak polynomial identities of the pair (M3(K),so3(K)) consists of the elements f(x1,ldots,xn) of the free associative algebra KlangleXangle with the property that f(a1,ldots,an)=0 in the algebra M3(K) of all 3imes3 matrices for all a1,ldots,aninso3(K). The generators of I(M3(K),so3(K)) were found by Razmyslov in the 1980's. In this paper the cocharacter sequence of I(M3(K),so3(K)) is computed. In other words, the mathrmGLp(K)-module structure of the algebra generated by p generic skew-symmetric matrices is determined. Moreover, the same is done for the closely related algebra of mathrmSO3(K)-equivariant polynomial maps from the space of p-tuples of 3imes3 skew-symmetric matrices into M3(K) (endowed with the conjugation action). In the special case p=3 the latter algebra is a module over a 6-variable polynomial subring in the algebra of mathrmSO3(K)-invariants of triples of 3imes3 skew-symmetric matrices, and a free resolution of this module is found. The proofs involve methods and results of classical invariant theory, representation theory of the general linear group and explicit computations with matrices.
