class sage.combinat.integer_vectors_mod_permgroup.IntegerVectorsModPermutationGroup#

Bases: UniqueRepresentation

Return an enumerated set containing integer vectors which are maximal in their orbit under the action of the permutation group G for the lexicographic order.

In Sage, a permutation group \(G\) is viewed as a subgroup of the symmetric group \(S_n\) of degree \(n\) and \(n\) is said to be the degree of \(G\). Any integer vector \(v\) is said to be canonical if it is maximal in its orbit under the action of \(G\). \(v\) is canonical if and only if

\[v = \max_{\text{lex order}} \{g \cdot v | g \in G \}\]

The action of \(G\) is on position. This means for example that the simple transposition \(s_1 = (1, 2)\) swaps the first and the second entries of any integer vector \(v = [a_1, a_2, a_3, \dots , a_n]\)

\[s_1 \cdot v = [a_2, a_1, a_3, \dots , a_n]\]

This function returns a parent which contains, from each orbit orbit under the action of the permutation group \(G\), a single canonical vector. The canonical vector is the one that is maximal within the orbit according to lexicographic order.

INPUT:

  • G - a permutation group

  • sum - (default: None) - a nonnegative integer

  • max_part - (default: None) - a nonnegative integer setting the maximum value for every element

  • sgs - (default: None) - a strong generating system of the group \(G\). If you do not provide it, it will be calculated at the creation of the parent

OUTPUT:

  • If sum and max_part are None, it returns the infinite enumerated set of all integer vectors (lists of integers) maximal in their orbit for the lexicographic order. Exceptionally, if the domain of G is empty, the result is a finite enumerated set that contains one element, namely the empty vector.

  • If sum is an integer, it returns a finite enumerated set containing all integer vectors maximal in their orbit for the lexicographic order and whose entries sum to sum.

EXAMPLES:

Here is the set enumerating integer vectors modulo the action of the cyclic group of \(3\) elements:

sage: I = IntegerVectorsModPermutationGroup(PermutationGroup([[(1,2,3)]]))
sage: I.category()
Category of infinite enumerated quotients of sets
sage: I.cardinality()
+Infinity
sage: I.list()
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
NotImplementedError: cannot list an infinite set
sage: p = iter(I)
sage: for i in range(10): next(p)
[0, 0, 0]
[1, 0, 0]
[2, 0, 0]
[1, 1, 0]
[3, 0, 0]
[2, 1, 0]
[2, 0, 1]
[1, 1, 1]
[4, 0, 0]
[3, 1, 0]

The method is_canonical() tests if an integer vector is maximal in its orbit. This method is also used in the containment test:

sage: I = IntegerVectorsModPermutationGroup(PermutationGroup([[(1,2,3,4)]]))
sage: I.is_canonical([5,2,0,4])
True
sage: I.is_canonical([5,0,6,4])
False
sage: I.is_canonical([1,1,1,1])
True
sage: [2,3,1,0] in I
False
sage: [5,0,5,0] in I
True
sage: 'Bla' in I
False
sage: I.is_canonical('bla')
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
AssertionError: bla should be a list or an integer vector

If you give a value to the extra argument sum, the set returned will be a finite set containing only canonical vectors whose entries sum to sum.:

sage: I = IntegerVectorsModPermutationGroup(PermutationGroup([[(1,2,3)]]), sum=6)
sage: I.cardinality()
10
sage: I.list()
[[6, 0, 0], [5, 1, 0], [5, 0, 1], [4, 2, 0], [4, 1, 1],
 [4, 0, 2], [3, 3, 0], [3, 2, 1], [3, 1, 2], [2, 2, 2]]
sage: I.category()
Join of Category of finite enumerated sets
    and Category of subquotients of finite sets
    and Category of quotients of sets

To get the orbit of any integer vector \(v\) under the action of the group, use the method orbit(); we convert the returned set of vectors into a list in increasing lexicographic order, to get a reproducible test:

sage: sorted(I.orbit([6,0,0]))
[[0, 0, 6], [0, 6, 0], [6, 0, 0]]
sage: sorted(I.orbit([5,1,0]))
[[0, 5, 1], [1, 0, 5], [5, 1, 0]]
sage: I.orbit([2,2,2])
{[2, 2, 2]}

Even without constraints, for an empty domain the result is a singleton set:

sage: G = PermutationGroup([], domain=[])
sage: sgs = tuple(tuple(s) for s in G.strong_generating_system())
sage: list(IntegerVectorsModPermutationGroup(G, sgs=sgs))
[[]]

Warning

Because of github issue #36527, permutation groups that have different domains but similar generators can be erroneously treated as the same group. This will silently produce erroneous results. To avoid this issue, compute a strong generating system for the group as:

sgs = tuple(tuple(s) for s in G.strong_generating_system())

and provide it as the optional sgs argument to the constructor.

class sage.combinat.integer_vectors_mod_permgroup.IntegerVectorsModPermutationGroup_All(G, sgs=None)#

Bases: UniqueRepresentation, RecursivelyEnumeratedSet_forest

A class for integer vectors enumerated up to the action of a permutation group.

A Sage permutation group is viewed as a subgroup of the symmetric group \(S_n\) for a certain \(n\). This group has a natural action by position on vectors of length \(n\). This class implements a set which keeps a single vector for each orbit. We say that a vector is canonical if it is the maximum in its orbit under the action of the permutation group for the lexicographic order.

Bases: UniqueRepresentation, RecursivelyEnumeratedSet_forest

This class models finite enumerated sets of integer vectors with constraint enumerated up to the action of a permutation group. Integer vectors are enumerated modulo the action of the permutation group. To implement that, we keep a single integer vector by orbit under the action of the permutation group. Elements chosen are vectors maximal in their orbit for the lexicographic order.
