class sage.categories.super_modules.SuperModules(base_category)#

Bases: SuperModulesCategory

The category of super modules.

An \(R\)-super module (where \(R\) is a ring) is an \(R\)-module \(M\) equipped with a decomposition \(M = M_0 \oplus M_1\) into two \(R\)-submodules \(M_0\) and \(M_1\) (called the even part and the odd part of \(M\), respectively).

Thus, an \(R\)-super module automatically becomes a \(\ZZ / 2 \ZZ\)-graded \(R\)-module, with \(M_0\) being the degree-\(0\) component and \(M_1\) being the degree-\(1\) component.

EXAMPLES:

sage: Modules(ZZ).Super()
Category of super modules over Integer Ring
sage: Modules(ZZ).Super().super_categories()
[Category of graded modules over Integer Ring]

The category of super modules defines the super structure which shall be preserved by morphisms:

sage: Modules(ZZ).Super().additional_structure()
Category of super modules over Integer Ring
class ElementMethods#

Bases: object

is_even()#

Return if self is an even element.

EXAMPLES:

sage: cat = Algebras(QQ).WithBasis().Super()
sage: C = CombinatorialFreeModule(QQ, Partitions(), category=cat)
sage: C.degree_on_basis = sum
sage: C.basis()[2,2,1].is_even()
False
sage: C.basis()[2,2].is_even()
True
is_even_odd()#

Return 0 if self is an even element or 1 if an odd element.

Note

The default implementation assumes that the even/odd is determined by the parity of degree().

Overwrite this method if the even/odd behavior is desired to be independent.

EXAMPLES:

sage: cat = Algebras(QQ).WithBasis().Super()
sage: C = CombinatorialFreeModule(QQ, Partitions(), category=cat)
sage: C.degree_on_basis = sum
sage: C.basis()[2,2,1].is_even_odd()
1
sage: C.basis()[2,2].is_even_odd()
0
is_odd()#

Return if self is an odd element.

EXAMPLES:

sage: cat = Algebras(QQ).WithBasis().Super()
sage: C = CombinatorialFreeModule(QQ, Partitions(), category=cat)
sage: C.degree_on_basis = sum
sage: C.basis()[2,2,1].is_odd()
True
sage: C.basis()[2,2].is_odd()
False
class ParentMethods#

Bases: object

extra_super_categories()#

Adds VectorSpaces to the super categories of self if the base ring is a field.

EXAMPLES:

sage: Modules(QQ).Super().extra_super_categories()
[Category of vector spaces over Rational Field]
sage: Modules(ZZ).Super().extra_super_categories()
[]

This makes sure that Modules(QQ).Super() returns an instance of SuperModules and not a join category of an instance of this class and of VectorSpaces(QQ):

sage: type(Modules(QQ).Super())
<class 'sage.categories.super_modules.SuperModules_with_category'>

Todo

Get rid of this workaround once there is a more systematic approach for the alias Modules(QQ) -> VectorSpaces(QQ). Probably the latter should be a category with axiom, and covariant constructions should play well with axioms.

classmethod default_super_categories(category, *args)#

Return the default super categories of \(F_{Cat}(A,B,...)\) for \(A,B,...\) parents in \(Cat\).

INPUT:

  • cls – the category class for the functor \(F\)

  • category – a category \(Cat\)

  • *args – further arguments for the functor

OUTPUT:

A join category.

This implements the property that subcategories constructed by the set of whitelisted axioms is a subcategory.

EXAMPLES:

sage: HopfAlgebras(ZZ).WithBasis().FiniteDimensional().Super() # indirect doctest
Category of finite dimensional super hopf algebras with basis over Integer Ring
