For any of the functions that produce phylogenetic invariants in the ring of Fourier coordinates, the ring can be specified with this optional argument. If null is passed then a new ring of Fourier coordinates will be created.
The ring passed can be any polynomial ring with sufficiently many variables. The sufficient number is $k = |G|^{n-1}$ where $G$ is the group of labels used by the model, and $n$ is the number of leaves of the phylogenetic tree. The ring may have more than $k$ variables, in which case only the first $k$ will be used.
