contents We consider a quantum system of n qudits and the Clebsch-Gordan decomposition of the associated Hilbert space. In this decomposition, one of the subspaces is the so-called symmetric subspace or symmetric sector, that is, the subspace of all states that are invariant under the action of the symmetric group. We prove that any separable state must have a nonzero component on the symmetric sector, or, equivalently, any state which has zero component on the symmetric sector must be entangled. For the cases of n=2,3 particles, and in arbitrary dimension d, this result can be refined by providing sharp lower bounds on the size of the component of separable states on the symmetric sector. This leads us to identify a class of entanglement witnesses for these systems. We provide an example showing that in the multipartite case, this class of witnesses detects PPT entangled states.
