Linear groups associated with elements of a group algebra. (English) Zbl 0629.20019
Let K be a field, $$M_ m(K)$$ the $$m\times m$$ matrices with entries in K, and $$S_ m$$ the symmetric group of degree m. If c is a function from $$S_ m$$ to K, let $$d_ c(A)=\sum_{\sigma \in S_ m}c(\sigma)\prod^{m}_{i=1}A_{i,\sigma (i)}$$ and let S(c) be the group of non-singular matrices B satisfying $$d_ c(BX)=d_ c(X)$$ for all $$X\in M_ m(K)$$. S(c) gives information about the problem of determining conditions for equality of decomposible symmetric tensors. The authors give necessary and sufficient conditions for a matrix to belong to S(c). In addition, they find properties that matrices which belong to S(c) satisfy.
