Oct 8, 2023 at 0:02 comment added Sam Sorry, this is my fault. $S^n(G)$ is not an algebraic group and one has only the map of schemes $S^n(G)\to G$. Nevertheless, $S^\bullet(G)$ is a commutative monoidal scheme and the question is still valid
Oct 7, 2023 at 0:03 comment added Denis T @S.Carnahan +1. For example, symmetric power of an elliptic curve cannot ever be an algebraic group by cohomological reasons; its cohomology is not an exterior algebra.

Oct 6, 2023 at 8:40 comment added Jon Pridham Regarding the extra degeneracy: in any adjunction of that form, it's very rare for that morphism in $\mathcal{C}$ to lift to a morphism in $\mathcal{D}$; that's effectively asking for the generators of a free algebra to be a subalgebra.
Oct 6, 2023 at 0:15 comment added S. Carnahan Why is $S^d(G)$ a group? For example, if $d=2$, how do you multiply the unordered pair $(x,y)$ by itself when $x \neq y$?
