SymplecticComponents( tbl, chars, m )
If chi is a (nonlinear) character with indicator -1, a splitting of the tensor power chi^m is given in terms of the so-called Murnaghan functions (see~Mur58). These components in general have fewer irreducible constituents than the symmetrizations with the symmetric group of degree m (see Symmetrisations).
SymplecticComponents returns the set of symplectic symmetrisations of
the characters of the character table tbl in the list chars, up to
the power m, where the integer m is one of { 2, 3, 4, 5 }.
Note: It is not checked if all characters in chars do really have indicator -1; if there are characters with indicator 0 or +1, the result might contain virtual characters, see also OrthogonalComponents.
