Let G be a permutation group
of degree m. Let λ be an irreducible, complex character of G. If A = (aij) is an m by
m matrix, the generalized matrix function of A corresponding to G and λ is defined
by
We obtain relations among generalized matrix functions arising from G and those
arising from a subgroup H of G. The methods yield some information about the
corresponding symmetry classes of tensors.
