Denote by V[G,chi] the symmetry class of tensors over the vector space V associated with an irreducible character chi of the permutation group G. If T is a linear operator on V, let K(T) denote the corresponding associated operator and D(T) the derivation operator on V[G,chi]. The article is concerned with the elementary divisors of K(T) and D(T).
