Popis: Let V be an n-dimensional vector space over the complex numbers equipped with an inner product (x, y), and let (P, μ) be a symmetry class in the mth tensor product of V associated with a permutation group G and a character χ (see below). Then for each T ∊ Hom (V, V) the function φ which sends each m-tuple (v1, … , vm) of elements of V to the tensor μ(TV1, … , Tvm) is symmetric with respect to G and x, and so there is a unique linear map K(T) from P to P such that φ = K(T)μ.It is easily checked that K: Hom(V, V) → Hom(P, P) is a rational representation of the multiplicative semi-group in Hom(V, V): for any two linear operators S and T on VK(ST) = K(S)K(T).Moreover, if T is normal then, with respect to the inner product induced on P by the inner product on V (see below), K(T) is normal.
