Let V ⊗n be the n–fold tensor product of a vector space V. Following I. Schur we consider the action of the symmetric group Sn on V ⊗n by permuting coordinates. In the ‘super’ (Z2 graded) case V = V0 ⊕ V1, a ± sign is added [BR]. These actions give rise to the corresponding Schur algebras S(Sn, V ). Here S(Sn, V ) is compared with S(An, V ), the Schur algebra corresponding to the alternating su...
