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*}

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}(...
