Universal enveloping algebra expression for the Burnside transition matrices
Let be the basis elements of , and define the matrices
For nonnegative integers , let be the sum over all orders of taking the matrix tensor product of copies of , copies of , and copies of . The universal enveloping algebra conjecture. The transition matrix satisfies
where
This identity has been checked up to and is proposed as an algebraic explanation for the relations among the matrices and their nonzero eigenvalues.
