Let Ω[x1, x2, …, xn] denote the algebra of polynomials in variables x1, x2, …, xn with coefficients from a fixed field Ω of characteristic zero, where n = 1, 2,…. There exists a natural projection which maps xn onto 0 and all the other variables onto themselves, for n = 1, 2, …. This enables one to construct the corresponding inverse limit which we here denote by Ω[x]. The algebra Ω[x] has a natural degree function defined on it.
