EquivariantGB :: egbToric

egbToric -- computes the kernel of an equivariant monomial map

Synopsis

Description

m should be a monomial map between rings created by buildERing. Such a map can be constructed with buildEMonomialMap but this is not required.

For a map to ring R from ring S, the algorithm infers the entire equivariant map from where m sends the variable orbit generators of S. In particular for each orbit of variables of the form x(i1,...,ik), the image of x(0,...,k-1) is used.

egbToric uses an incremental strategy, computing Gröbner bases for truncations using FourTiTwo. Because of FourTiTwo’s efficiency, this strategy tends to be much faster than general equivariant Gröbner basis algorithms such as egb.

In the following example we compute an equivariant Gröbner basis for the vanishing equations of the second Veronese of Pn, i.e. the variety of n x n rank 1 symmetric matrices.

i1 : R = buildERing({symbol x}, {1}, QQ, 2);
i2 : S = buildERing({symbol y}, {2}, QQ, 2);
i3 : m = buildEMonomialMap(R,S,{x_0*x_1})

o3 = map(R,S,{x , x x , x x , x })

Caveat

It is not checked if m is equivariant. Only the images of the orbit generators of the source ring are examined and the rest of the map ignored.
