Let Hd[x1,…,xm] be the complex vector space of homogeneous polynomials of degree d with the independent variables x1,…,xm. Let V be the complex vector space of homogeneous linear polynomials in the variables x1,…,xm. For any linear operator T acting on V, there is a (unique) induced operator P(T) acting on Hd[x1,…,xm] satisfying
P(T)q(x1,…,xm)=q(Tx1,…,Txm).
In this paper, we study some algebraic and geometric properties of induced operator P(T). Also, we obtain the norm of the derivative of the map T→P(T) in terms of the norm of T.
