Symmetric Polynomials and Elementary Symmetric Polynomials #

This file defines symmetric mv_polynomials and elementary symmetric mv_polynomials. We also prove some basic facts about them.

Main declarations #

Notation #

As in other polynomial files, we typically use the notation:

noncomputable def mv_polynomial.esymm (σ : Type u_1) (R : Type u_2) [comm_semiring R] [fintype σ] (n : ) :

Equations
theorem mv_polynomial.esymm_eq_multiset.esymm (σ : Type u_1) (R : Type u_2) [comm_semiring R] [fintype σ] (n : ) :

The nth elementary symmetric mv_polynomial σ R is obtained by evaluating the nth elementary symmetric at the multiset of the monomials

We can define esymm σ R n by summing over a subtype instead of over powerset_len.
