Isomorphisms of algebras of symmetric functions on spaces $\ell_p$ by T. V. Vasylyshyn

“…Such groups of operators are generated by some groups of bijections on the set $\mathbb{N}$ of positive integers. The most commonly used for this purpose is the group $\mathcal{S}$ of all bijections on $\mathbb{N}.$ We consider entire functions and polynomials that are symmetric with respect to the group of operators, generated by $\mathcal{S},$ on the complex Banach space $\ell_p(\mathbb{C}^n)$ of all absolutely summable in a power $p\in [1,+\infty)$ sequences of $n$-dimensional complex vectors. …”
