May 18, 2020 at 16:02 comment added Zarathustra Yes, but what is confusing me is the notation $dist(i,j,k,l)$, is this supposed to represent pair-wise distances between the integers? For the case of a matrix, this would mean that elements of distance $|i-j|>N$ away from the diagonal are zero.
May 18, 2020 at 15:50 comment added Zach Teitler So, you want to count the set of integer $4$-tuples $(i,j,k,l)$ with $|i|,|j|,|k|,|l|,|i-j|,\dotsc,|k-l|\leq N$, modulo the equivalence relation $(i,j,k,l)\sim(i+b,j+b,k+b,l+b)$?

May 18, 2020 at 13:00 comment added Zarathustra I forgot to add that the tensor must satisfy $dist(i,j,k,l)\leq N$. This is also confusing me, as what is meant here by dist(i,j,k,l) is meant by the pair combinations of indices, so $|i-j|\leq N$ , $|i-k|\leq N$. $|i-l|\leq N$ ... and so on. Also, the matrix is required to satisfy the symmetry above with $|i-j| \leq N$. In that case, you can fix one of the matrix indices $i$ and compute a single row; the rest follows by symmery but this is what I don't see in the tensor case
May 18, 2020 at 12:48 comment added Ben McKay It is not true; you are only allowing simultaneous addition to all indices at once, not each index separately. Think again about matrices (which, in your setting, are I suppose of infinite dimension). Draw matrix entry $C_{ij}$ at position $(i,j)$. Your symmetry allows you to equate entries as you move by a vector $(r,r)$ in the plane, not by $(0,r)$ or $(r,0)$.
