This means that the restriction of ρ < sub > n </ sub > to elements of degree at most n is a bijective linear map, and ρ < sub > n </ sub >( e < sub > k </ sub >( X < sub > 1 </ sub >,…, X < sub > n + 1 </ sub >)) = e < sub > k </ sub >( X < sub > 1 </ sub >,…, X < sub > n </ sub >) for all k ≤ n. The inverse of this restriction can be extended uniquely to a ring homomorphism φ < sub > n </ sub > from R < sup > S < sub > n </ sub ></ sup > to R < sup > S < sub > n + 1 </ sub ></ sup >, as follows for instance from the fundamental theorem of symmetric polynomials.
