class sage.modules.fp_graded.morphism.FPModuleMorphism(parent, values, check=True)#

Bases: Morphism

Create a homomorphism between finitely presented graded modules.

INPUT:

  • parent – a homspace of finitely presented graded modules

  • values – a list of elements in the codomain; each element corresponds to a module generator in the domain

  • check – boolean (default: True); if True, check that the morphism is well-defined

change_ring(algebra)#

Change the base ring of self.

INPUT:

  • algebra – a graded algebra

homology(f, top_dim=None, verbose=False)#

Compute the sub-quotient module of \(H(self, f) = \ker(self)/\operatorname{im}(f)\) in a range of degrees.

For a pair of composable morphisms \(f: M\to N\) and \(g: N \to Q\) of finitely presented modules, the homology module is a finitely presented quotient of the kernel sub module \(\ker(g) \subset N\).

INPUT:

  • f – a homomorphism with codomain equal to the domain of self and image contained in the kernel of this homomorphism

OUTPUT:

A quotient homomorphism \(\ker(self) \to H\), where \(H\) is isomorphic to \(H(self, f)\) in degrees less than or equal to top_dim.

Note

If the algebra for this module is finite, then no top_dim needs to be specified in order to ensure that this function terminates.

lift(f, verbose=False)#

Return a lift of this homomorphism over the given homomorphism f.

INPUT:

  • f – a homomorphism with codomain equal to the codomain of self

  • verbose – boolean (default: False); enable progress messages

OUTPUT:

A homomorphism \(g\) with the property that self equals \(f \circ g\). If no lift exist, None is returned.

ALGORITHM:

Let \(s\) be this homomorphism with \(L\) the domain of \(s\). Choose \(x_1, \ldots, x_N\) such that \(f(x_i) = s(g_i)\), where the \(g_i\)’s are the module generators of \(L\).

The linear function sending \(g_i\) to \(x_i\) for every \(i\) is well defined if and only if the vector \(x = (x_1, \ldots, x_N)\) lies in the nullspace of the coefficient matrix \(R = (r_{ij})\) given by the relations of \(L\).

Let \(k \in \ker(f)\) solve the matrix equation:

\[R \cdot k = R \cdot x.\]

Define a module homomorphism by sending the generators of \(L\) to \(x_1 - k_1, \ldots, x_N - k_N\). This is well defined, and is also a lift of this homomorphism over \(f\).

Note that it does not matter how we choose the initial elements \(x_i\): If \(x'\) is another choice then \(x' - x\in \ker(f)\) and \(R\cdot k = R\cdot x\) if and only if \(R\cdot (k + x' - x) = R\cdot x'\).

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.modules.fp_graded.module import FPModule

sage: f_ = k.lift(f)
sage: f*f_ == k

Module morphism:

  Defn: g[0] |--> Sq(1)*g[0]

sage: split = Hom(HZ,A_plus_HZ)([A_plus_HZ.generator(1)])

sage: M = FPModule(A, [0], relations=[[Sq(0,1)]])
sage: f = Hom(M,M)([Sq(2)*M.generator(0)])
sage: im = f.image(top_dim=10)
sage: f.lift(im)
Module morphism:

  To:   Finitely presented left module on 1 generator and 2 relations over mod 2 Steenrod algebra, milnor basis
  Defn: g[0] |--> g[2]

sage: F2 = FPModule(A, [0,0])
sage: non_surjection = Hom(F2, F2)([F2([1, 0]), F2([0, 0])])
sage: lift = Hom(F2, F2).identity().lift(non_surjection, verbose=True)

vector_presentation(n)#

Return the restriction of self to the domain module elements of degree n.

The restriction of a non-zero module homomorphism to the free module of module elements of degree \(n\) is a linear function into the free module of elements of degree \(n+d\) belonging to the codomain. Here \(d\) is the degree of this homomorphism.

When this homomorphism is zero, it has no well defined degree so the function cannot be presented since we do not know the degree of its codomain. In this case, an error is raised.

INPUT:

  • n – an integer degree

OUTPUT:

A linear function of finite dimensional free modules over the ground ring of the algebra for this module. The domain is isomorphic to the free module of domain elements of degree n of self via the choice of basis given by basis_elements(). If the morphism is zero, an error is raised.
