Structure theory for the group algebra of the symmetric group, with applications to polynomial identities for the octonions

Structure theory for the group algebra of the symmetric group, with applications to polynomial identities for the octonions

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 $\mathbb{F} S_n$ of the symmetric …
