wittTupleToOverring -- Converts an element of a Witt ring to an element of the overring of its explicit presentation.

Description

Given a WittRingElement w of W = witt(n,R) (i.e., a tuple) this returns the corresponding element of the overring of the explicit presentation of W (i.e., an element of wittOverring(n,R)))

i1 : R = ZZ/5[x]

o1 = R

o1 : PolynomialRing
i2 : w = witt{x,x^5+x^4}

          5    4
o2 = {x, x  + x }

o2 : WittRingElement
i3 : wittTupleToOverring w

       5     4
o3 = 6T  + 5T
       1     1

     ZZ[T ]
         1
o3 : ------
       25
