Aug 6, 2010 at 6:40 comment added Torsten Ekedahl This is a nice way of looking at it. The generalisation would be that for the rank $n$ tautological bundle $\mathbb E$ on $\mathbb P^n$ (over a ring $R$) we should have that the natural map $R[\Sigma_n]\to\mathrm{End}(\mathbb E^{\oplus n})$ should be an isomorphism for all $R$. For this to be true it is enough that $\mathrm{End}(\mathbb E^{\oplus n})$ have dimension $n!$ for any field. This would be a kind of Weyl theorem (the one where $\mathrm{End}(\mathbb E^{\oplus n})$ is replaced by $R^n$ instead of $\mathbb E$ and morphisms are $\mathrm{GL}_n$-maps).
