Let $V$ be the defining representation of $GL_2(\mathbb{R})$. Let $\Sigma_m$ be the permutation group, acting on $ \oplus_{i = 1}^m V^*$ by permuting coordinates, and let $GL_2(\mathbb{R})$ act by the diagonal. These actions commute.
Let $A = Sym( \oplus_{i = 1}^m V^* ) ^{\Sigma_m}$ be the ring of $\Sigma_m$ invariants of the symmetric algebra.
I am looking for a reference on the $GL_2( \mathbb{R})$ representation theory of $A$.
I am especially interested in:
- A generating set for $A$ as a $\mathbb{R}[ GL_2(\mathbb{R})]$ algebra, or as an $\mathbb{R}$-algebra.
- A (combinatorial?) description of a collection of basis for each irreducible representation in $A$.
- Other notions of compact descriptions of $A$.
Thank you! Some keywords would really help.
