The universal property of the polynomial ring gives the unique complex algebra homomorphism
Distinct monomials are linearly independent, so is injective. Restriction of scalars defines for and ; its module axioms follow from those of the original action and the algebra homomorphism. In particular acts as the square of the operator defining the action.
