Key => {permanents, (permanents,ZZ,Matrix)},
Headline => "ideal generated by square permanents of a matrix",
Usage => "permanents(n,M)",
Inputs => {"n" => ZZ => "the size of the permanents",
"M" => Matrix
},
Outputs => {Ideal=>{" generated by the permanents of the ",
TT "n", " by ", TT "n", " subpermanents of ", TT "M"}

"The permanent of a square matrix ", TT "N",
" has the Laplace transform similar to the Laplace transform
of the determinant of ", TT "N", ": but all signs are positive.
Permanents are used in combinatorics and in probability.
They are computationally difficult.",
