PMCID: PMC322966  PMID: 16593657

Abstract

A symbolic method based on an extension of the straightening algorithm is developed for the representation of joint invariants of symmetric and skew-symmetric tensors. For skew-symmetric tensors, the method holds over infinite fields of arbitrary characteristic.

Keywords: Young symmetrizers, straightening algorithms, skew-symmetric tensors, standard bases, superalgebras
