The famous Frobenius characteristic map is a bijection from the space of characters of the symmetric group S„ to the space of homogeneous symmetric functions of degree n. In this note, a formula for the inverse map is proved. More precisely, the generating function for the values of an arbitrary virtual character x of Sn is expressed in terms of the symmetric function which is the Frobenius image of xWe also give a ^-analogue of this result by providing a similar formula for the Hecke algebra characters, and suggest some applications. §1 .The symmetric group In this note, we follow the terminology and notation of Macdonald [M]. In particular, Л = A(xi,x-2,...) will denote the algebra of symmetric functions (i.e., symmetric formal power series of bounded degree) in infinitely many variables The celebrated Frobenius correspondence is a linear isomorphism between the space of class functions on (the set conjugacy classes of) the symmetric group Sn and the space Л" of homogeneous symmetric functions of degree n. Specifically, it sends each irreducible character x to the corresponding Schur function s\. Since the conjugacy classes of S„ are labeled by partitions of n, with any class function x o n $n w e can associate a symmetric generating function
