 Uniform layer of the Boolean cube

The uniform layer consists of the characteristic vectors of sets of size $r$ in $[n]$. It has size $\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{n}{r}\right)$, a binomial coefficient. Restricting polynomials to a uniform layer introduces identities absent on the entire Boolean lattice, since the coordinate sum is fixed. In particular, homogenisation on a uniform layer spans all restricted multilinear polynomials of degree at most $s\le r$ using just the degree-$s$ monomials.
