I have used the NCAlgebra package for similar calculations (calculating group function non-commutativity from the quantum yang baxter equation) and I highly recommend it for that sort of thing.

| Sep 13, 2013 at 6:13 | comment | added | Ken Gonzales | If the variables are the same, then $b^2=b*b=b**b$. My point being, if I use **, what Mathematica does is adjoin the variables and nothing else. | |

I would imagine that's because $b^2$ means b*b and not b**b.
