What generalizes symmetric polynomials to other finite groups?
Multivariate polynomial indexed by ${1, \ldots, n}$ are acted on by $S_n$: for $\sigma \in S_n$, define $\sigma(x_i) = x_{\sigma(x_i)}$, etc. Symmetric polynomials are those polynomials which are ...

A commutative monoid associated with a finite abelian group
Let $M$ be a finite abelian group, and denote by $e_m$, for $m \in M$, the canonical basis of $\mathbb{Z}^M$. For $m, n \in M$ define elements $v_{m,n} \in \mathbb{Z}^M/\langle e_0\rangle$ as
$$
v_{m,...
