Serie de Poincaré-Koszul associée aux groupes de tresses pures.
This is a survey paper on applications of the representation theory of the symmetric group to the theory of polynomial identities for associative and nonassociative algebras. In §1, we present a detailed review (with complete proofs) of the classical structure theory of the group algebra of the symmetric group over a field of characteristic 0 (or ). The goal is to obtain a constructive version of the isomorphism where is a partition of and counts the standard tableaux of shape ....
