#F  MolienSeries( [<tbl>, ]<psi>[, <chi>] )

##
##  <Description>
##  The <E>Molien series</E> of the character <M>\psi</M>,
##  relative to the character <M>\chi</M>, is the rational function given by
##  the series
##  <M>M_{{\psi,\chi}}(z) = \sum_{{d = 0}}^{\infty} [\chi,\psi^{[d]}] z^d</M>,
##  where <M>\psi^{[d]}</M> denotes the symmetrization of <M>\psi</M>
##  with the trivial character of the symmetric group <M>S_d</M>
##  (see&nbsp;<Ref Func="SymmetricParts"/>).
##  <P/>
##  <Ref Func="MolienSeries"/> returns the Molien series of <A>psi</A>,
##  relative to <A>chi</A>, where <A>psi</A> and <A>chi</A> must be
##  characters of the same character table;
##  this table must be entered as <A>tbl</A> if <A>chi</A> and <A>psi</A>
##  are only lists of character values.
##  The default for <A>chi</A> is the trivial character of <A>tbl</A>.
##  <P/>
##  The return value of <Ref Func="MolienSeries"/> stores a value for the
##  attribute <Ref Func="MolienSeriesInfo"/>.
##  This admits the computation of coefficients of the series with
##  <Ref Func="ValueMolienSeries"/>.
##  Furthermore, this attribute gives access to numerator and denominator
##  of the Molien series viewed as rational function,
##  where the denominator is a product of polynomials of the form
##  <M>(1-z^r)^k</M>; the Molien series is also displayed in this form.
##  Note that such a representation is not unique, one can use
##  <Ref Func="MolienSeriesWithGivenDenominator"/>
##  to obtain the series with a prescribed denominator.
##  <P/>
##  For more information about Molien series, see&nbsp;<Cite Key="NPP84"/>.
##  <P/>
