Notes:
Explicit formulas are given for the characters of symmetric and antisymmetric powers of an arbitrary representation up to the sixth, and a general method for obtaining the higher ones is described. The results allow, among others, the determination of nonvanishing higher force constants in symmetrical molecules. The benzene molecule, for instance, has 237 nonvanishing cubic and 1890 quartic force constants. Other potential applications are a general method for the symmetry species of vibrational overtones, the determination of the number of independent centrifugal distortion constants, and the symmetry classification of vibrational multiplets.
