The Adams operations on the representation ring R(G) are maps Ψk characterised by their effect on characters χ:
The operations Ψk are ring homomorphisms of R(G) to itself, and on representations ρ of dimension d
where the Λiρ are the exterior powers of ρ and Nk is the k-th Newton polynomial.

“We thinke that Paradise and Calvarie,
Christs Crosse, and Adams tree, stood in one place;
Looke, Lord, and finde both Adams met in me;
As the first Adams sweat surrounds my face,
May the last Adams blood my soule embrace.”
—John Donne (1572–1631)
“There is a patent office at the seat of government of the universe, whose managers are as much interested in the dispersion of seeds as anybody at Washington can be, and their operations are infinitely more extensive and regular.”
