PolynomialQuotientRing
(ring, polynomial, names=None)¶ Create a quotient of a polynomial ring.
INPUT:
ring
- a univariate polynomial ring in one variable.polynomial
- element with unit leading coefficientnames
- (optional) name for the variable
OUTPUT: Creates the quotient ring R/I, where R is the ring and I is the principal ideal generated by the polynomial.
EXAMPLES:
We create the quotient ring \(\ZZ[x]/(x^3+7)\), and demonstrate many basic functions with it:
sage: Z = IntegerRing() sage: R = PolynomialRing(Z,'x'); x = R.gen() sage: S = R.quotient(x^3 + 7, 'a'); a = S.gen() sage: S Univariate Quotient Polynomial Ring in a over Integer Ring with modulus x^3 + 7 sage: a^3 -7 sage: S.is_field() False sage: a in S True sage: x in S True sage: a in R False sage: S.polynomial_ring() Univariate Polynomial Ring in x over Integer Ring sage: S.modulus() x^3 + 7 sage: S.degree() 3
We create the “iterated” polynomial ring quotient
\[R = (\GF{2}[y]/(y^{2}+y+1))[x]/(x^3 - 5).\]sage: A.<y> = PolynomialRing(GF(2)); A Univariate Polynomial Ring in y over Finite Field of size 2 (using NTL) sage: B = A.quotient(y^2 + y + 1, 'y2'); B Univariate Quotient Polynomial Ring in y2 over Finite Field of size 2 with modulus y^2 + y + 1 sage: C = PolynomialRing(B, 'x'); x=C.gen(); C Univariate Polynomial Ring in x over Univariate Quotient Polynomial Ring in y2 over Finite Field of size 2 with modulus y^2 + y + 1 sage: R = C.quotient(x^3 - 5); R Univariate Quotient Polynomial Ring in xbar over Univariate Quotient Polynomial Ring in y2 over Finite Field of size 2 with modulus y^2 + y + 1 with modulus x^3 + 1
Next we create a number field, but viewed as a quotient of a polynomial ring over \(\QQ\):
sage: R = PolynomialRing(RationalField(), 'x'); x = R.gen() sage: S = R.quotient(x^3 + 2*x - 5, 'a') sage: S Univariate Quotient Polynomial Ring in a over Rational Field with modulus x^3 + 2*x - 5 sage: S.is_field() True sage: S.degree() 3
There are conversion functions for easily going back and forth between quotients of polynomial rings over \(\QQ\) and number fields:
sage: K = S.number_field(); K Number Field in a with defining polynomial x^3 + 2*x - 5 sage: K.polynomial_quotient_ring() Univariate Quotient Polynomial Ring in a over Rational Field with modulus x^3 + 2*x - 5
The leading coefficient must be a unit (but need not be 1).
sage: R = PolynomialRing(Integers(9), 'x'); x = R.gen() sage: S = R.quotient(2*x^4 + 2*x^3 + x + 2, 'a') sage: S = R.quotient(3*x^4 + 2*x^3 + x + 2, 'a') Traceback (most recent call last): ... TypeError: polynomial must have unit leading coefficient
Another example:
sage: R.<x> = PolynomialRing(IntegerRing()) sage: f = x^2 + 1 sage: R.quotient(f) Univariate Quotient Polynomial Ring in xbar over Integer Ring with modulus x^2 + 1
This shows that the issue at trac ticket #5482 is solved:
sage: R.<x> = PolynomialRing(QQ) sage: f = x^2-1 sage: R.quotient_by_principal_ideal(f) Univariate Quotient Polynomial Ring in xbar over Rational Field with modulus x^2 - 1

field_extension
(names)¶ Takes a polynomial quotient ring, and returns a tuple with three elements: the NumberField defined by the same polynomial quotient ring, a homomorphism from its parent to the NumberField sending the generators to one another, and the inverse isomorphism.
OUTPUT:
- field
- homomorphism from self to field
- homomorphism from field to self
EXAMPLES:
sage: R.<x> = PolynomialRing(Rationals()) sage: S.<alpha> = R.quotient(x^3-2) sage: F.<b>, f, g = S.field_extension() sage: F Number Field in b with defining polynomial x^3 - 2 sage: a = F.gen() sage: f(alpha) b sage: g(a) alpha
Note that the parent ring must be an integral domain:
sage: R.<x> = GF(25,'f25')['x'] sage: S.<a> = R.quo(x^3 - 2) sage: F, g, h = S.field_extension('b') Traceback (most recent call last): ... AttributeError: 'PolynomialQuotientRing_generic_with_category' object has no attribute 'field_extension'
Over a finite field, the corresponding field extension is not a number field:
sage: R.<x> = GF(25, 'a')['x'] sage: S.<a> = R.quo(x^3 + 2*x + 1) sage: F, g, h = S.field_extension('b') sage: h(F.0^2 + 3) a^2 + 3 sage: g(x^2 + 2) b^2 + 2
We do an example involving a relative number field:
sage: R.<x> = QQ['x'] sage: K.<a> = NumberField(x^3 - 2) sage: S.<X> = K['X'] sage: Q.<b> = S.quo(X^3 + 2*X + 1) sage: Q.field_extension('b') (Number Field in b with defining polynomial X^3 + 2*X + 1 over its base field, ... Defn: b |--> b, Relative number field morphism: From: Number Field in b with defining polynomial X^3 + 2*X + 1 over its base field To: Univariate Quotient Polynomial Ring in b over Number Field in a with defining polynomial x^3 - 2 with modulus X^3 + 2*X + 1 Defn: b |--> b a |--> a)
We slightly change the example above so it works.
sage: R.<x> = QQ['x'] sage: K.<a> = NumberField(x^3 - 2) sage: S.<X> = K['X'] sage: f = (X+a)^3 + 2*(X+a) + 1 sage: f X^3 + 3*a*X^2 + (3*a^2 + 2)*X + 2*a + 3 sage: Q.<z> = S.quo(f) sage: F.<w>, g, h = Q.field_extension() sage: c = g(z) sage: f(c) 0 sage: h(g(z)) z sage: g(h(w)) w

TESTS:
By trac ticket trac ticket #11900, polynomial quotient rings use Sage’s category framework. They do so in an unusual way: During their initialisation, they are declared to be objects in the category of quotients of commutative algebras over a base ring. However, if it is tested whether a quotient ring is actually a field, the category might be refined, which also includes a change of the class of the quotient ring and its newly created elements.
Thus, in order to document that this works fine, we go into some detail:
sage: P.<x> = QQ[] sage: Q = P.quotient(x^2+2) sage: Q.category() Category of commutative no zero divisors quotients of algebras over Rational Field
The test suite passes:
sage: TestSuite(Q).run()
We verify that the elements belong to the correct element class. Also, we list the attributes that are provided by the element class of the category, and store the current class of the quotient ring:
sage: isinstance(Q.an_element(),Q.element_class) True sage: [s for s in dir(Q.category().element_class) if not s.startswith('_')] ['cartesian_product', 'is_idempotent', 'is_one', 'is_unit', 'lift', 'powers'] sage: first_class = Q.__class__
We try to find out whether \(Q\) is a field. Indeed it is, and thus its category, including its class and element class, is changed accordingly:
sage: Q in Fields() True sage: Q.category() Category of commutative division no zero divisors quotients of algebras over Rational Field sage: first_class == Q.__class__ False sage: [s for s in dir(Q.category().element_class) if not s.startswith('_')] ['cartesian_product', 'euclidean_degree', 'gcd', 'is_idempotent', 'is_one', 'is_unit', 'lcm', 'lift', 'powers', 'quo_rem', 'xgcd']
As one can see, the elements are now inheriting additional methods: lcm and gcd. Even though
Q.an_element()
belongs to the old and not to the new element class, it still inherits the new methods from the category of fields, thanks toElement.__getattr__()
:sage: e = Q.an_element() sage: isinstance(e, Q.element_class) False sage: e.gcd(e+1) 1
Since the category has changed, we repeat the test suite. However, we have to skip the test for its elements, since \(an_element\) has been cached in the previous run of the test suite, and we have already seen that its class is not matching the new element class:
sage: TestSuite(Q).run(skip=['_test_elements'])
Newly created elements are fine, though, and their test suite passes:
sage: TestSuite(Q(x)).run() sage: isinstance(Q(x), Q.element_class) True

S_class_group
(S, proof=True)¶ If self is an étale algebra \(D\) over a number field \(K\) (i.e. a quotient of \(K[x]\) by a squarefree polynomial) and \(S\) is a finite set of places of \(K\), return a list of generators of the \(S\)-class group of \(D\).
NOTE:
Since the
ideal
function behaves differently over number fields than over polynomial quotient rings (the quotient does not even know its ring of integers), we return a set of pairs(gen, order)
, wheregen
is a tuple of generators of an ideal \(I\) andorder
is the order of \(I\) in the \(S\)-class group.INPUT:
S
- a set of primes of the coefficient ringproof
- if False, assume the GRH in computing the class group
OUTPUT:
A list of generators of the \(S\)-class group, in the form
(gen, order)
, wheregen
is a tuple of elements generating a fractional ideal \(I\) andorder
is the order of \(I\) in the \(S\)-class group.EXAMPLES:
A trivial algebra over \(\QQ(\sqrt{-5})\) has the same class group as its base:
sage: K.<a> = QuadraticField(-5) sage: R.<x> = K[] sage: S.<xbar> = R.quotient(x) sage: S.S_class_group([]) [((2, -a + 1), 2)]
When we include the prime \((2, -a+1)\), the \(S\)-class group becomes trivial:
sage: S.S_class_group([K.ideal(2, -a+1)]) []
Here is an example where the base and the extension both contribute to the class group:
sage: K.<a> = QuadraticField(-5) sage: K.class_group() Class group of order 2 with structure C2 of Number Field in a with defining polynomial x^2 + 5 sage: R.<x> = K[] sage: S.<xbar> = R.quotient(x^2 + 23) sage: S.S_class_group([]) [((2, -a + 1, 1/2*xbar + 1/2, -1/2*a*xbar + 1/2*a + 1), 6)] sage: S.S_class_group([K.ideal(3, a-1)]) [] sage: S.S_class_group([K.ideal(2, a+1)]) [] sage: S.S_class_group([K.ideal(a)]) [((2, -a + 1, 1/2*xbar + 1/2, -1/2*a*xbar + 1/2*a + 1), 6)]
Now we take an example over a nontrivial base with two factors, each contributing to the class group:
sage: K.<a> = QuadraticField(-5) sage: R.<x> = K[] sage: S.<xbar> = R.quotient((x^2 + 23)*(x^2 + 31)) sage: S.S_class_group([]) [((1/4*xbar^2 + 31/4, (-1/8*a + 1/8)*xbar^2 - 31/8*a + 31/8, 1/16*xbar^3 + 1/16*xbar^2 + 31/16*xbar + 31/16, -1/16*a*xbar^3 + (1/16*a + 1/8)*xbar^2 - 31/16*a*xbar + 31/16*a + 31/8), 6), ((-1/4*xbar^2 - 23/4, (1/8*a - 1/8)*xbar^2 + 23/8*a - 23/8, -1/16*xbar^3 - 1/16*xbar^2 - 23/16*xbar - 23/16, 1/16*a*xbar^3 + (-1/16*a - 1/8)*xbar^2 + 23/16*a*xbar - 23/16*a - 23/8), 6), ((-5/4*xbar^2 - 115/4, 1/4*a*xbar^2 + 23/4*a, -1/16*xbar^3 - 7/16*xbar^2 - 23/16*xbar - 161/16, 1/16*a*xbar^3 - 1/16*a*xbar^2 + 23/16*a*xbar - 23/16*a), 2)]
By using the ideal \((a)\), we cut the part of the class group coming from \(x^2 + 31\) from 12 to 2, i.e. we lose a generator of order 6 (this was fixed in trac ticket #14489):
sage: S.S_class_group([K.ideal(a)]) [((1/4*xbar^2 + 31/4, (-1/8*a + 1/8)*xbar^2 - 31/8*a + 31/8, 1/16*xbar^3 + 1/16*xbar^2 + 31/16*xbar + 31/16, -1/16*a*xbar^3 + (1/16*a + 1/8)*xbar^2 - 31/16*a*xbar + 31/16*a + 31/8), 6), ((-1/4*xbar^2 - 23/4, (1/8*a - 1/8)*xbar^2 + 23/8*a - 23/8, -1/16*xbar^3 - 1/16*xbar^2 - 23/16*xbar - 23/16, 1/16*a*xbar^3 + (-1/16*a - 1/8)*xbar^2 + 23/16*a*xbar - 23/16*a - 23/8), 2)]
