Abstract

We study the ring generated over a field of characteristic 0 by noncommuting indeterminates x1,x2,...,xn subject only to the relations xiσk=σk xi, for i,k=1,2,...,n, and their consequences, where σk =σk(x1,x2,...,xn) is the k-th elementary polynomial in the noncommuting variables xi. We assume n≥ 3 throughout.
