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.

“All stars stand close in summer air
And tremble, and look mild as amber;
When wicks are lighted in the chamber
You might say stars were settling there.”
—Léonie Adams (1899–1988)

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
