Apr 19, 2017 at 5:33 comment added Dan Petersen @ClaudioGorodski There is a bijection between irreducible representations of $S_n$ in characteristic zero and partitions $\lambda \vdash n$. The representation corresponding to a partition $\lambda$ is called a Specht module.

Apr 18, 2017 at 19:25 comment added Igor Khavkine Is it too obvious to note that each of $\mathcal{O}(\mathrm{GL}(V))$ and $V^{\otimes n}$ carry distinct commuting group actions? Namely the first one has induced actions from both the left and right group multiplication of $\mathrm{GL}(V)$ on itself, while the $V^{\otimes n}$ summand of $T(V) = \bigoplus_{n=0 }^\infty V^{\otimes n}$ is acted on by $\mathrm{GL}(V)$ and $S_n$, where the former the former is the obvious action on the tensor product and the latter permutes the tensor factors.
