Matrix with elementary symmetric polynomials as entries

Let $n\geq 1$, and for each $j=1,\ldots, n+1$ let $\mathbf{X}_{j}=(X_{j1},\ldots, X_{jn})$ be $n$ variables. Let $M$ be the $(n+1)\times (n+1)$ matrix whose $(i,j)$-th entry is $$M_{ij}=(-1)^i e_{i-1}(...

Examples of specializations of elementary symmetric polynomials

Let $\mathcal{S}_{x}=\{x_{1,},x_{2},\ldots x_{n}\}$ be a set of $n$ indeterminates. The $h^{th}$elementary symmetric polynomial is the sum of all monomials with $h$ factors \begin{eqnarray*} e_{h}(\...
