Nov 24, 2017 at 19:12 comment added Kashayar Thanks for your clarification. I see where the confusion is. In my original answer, The sumation is from $k=1$ to $d^n$. What I meant to say was to consider all the $d^n$ possible cases which appear in $\boldsymbol{S}^n$, and the summation in my answer, is NOT on different combinations of $\alpha$ . For example, if $d=2, n=2$, there are three choices for $\alpha$: $(2,0) , (0,2) , (1,1)$, and hence three terms in your summation on the left. However, in the summation on your right, there are four terms, $S_1 S_1 ,S_1 S_2 , S_2 S_1 , S_2 S_2$.
Nov 24, 2017 at 18:37 comment added Schüler Thank you very much but perhaps you don't understand me very well: I tested your formula for $n=2$ and $d=2$ and I don't find that it is the same as the left hand side.
Nov 24, 2017 at 18:36 comment added Kashayar I'm sorry, I had a few typos, so I deleted the comment and added a new one. In my comment above, take $f(x) = (\sum _{k=1}^{d^n} \Vert S_1^{\alpha_1} \ldots S_d^{\alpha_d} \Vert ^2)^{1/2}$. Then you can see if $A=\{ x\in E, \Vert x \Vert =1\}$, we get $\Vert \boldsymbol{S}^n \Vert = sup_{x\in A}\{f(x)\}$.
Nov 24, 2017 at 18:32 comment added Kashayar This is a standard "take $\epsilon >0$ and prove each side is less than the other" argument. Let $F= sup _{x\in A}\{f(x)\}$. Then for each $n\in \mathbb{N}$, there exists $x_n \in A$ such that $f(x_n) > F - 1/n$. Hence assuming that $f(x)$ is non-negative for each $x\in A$ (which is the case in your example.), $sup _{x\in A}\{ f(x)^2\} \geq f(x_n)^2 > (F-1/n)^2$ for each $n$, hence $sup _{x\in A}\{ f(x)^2\} \geq F^2$. Also, for each $x\in A$, $F \geq f(x)$, therefore $F^2 \geq f(x)^2$. Now by taking supremum on both sides, we get $F^2 \geq sup _{x\in A}\{ f(x)^2\}$. This finishes the proof.
Nov 24, 2017 at 17:42 comment added Schüler I think this formula is not true: $$ \Vert \boldsymbol{S}^n \Vert^2 = sup \Big\{ \sum _{k=1}^{d^n} \Vert S_1 ^{\alpha _1} S_2^{\alpha_2} \ldots S_d^{\alpha_d} \Vert^2, x\in E, \Vert x \Vert =1 \Big\} .$$
