Initialization

absolute_discriminant()#

Returns the absolute discriminant of this \(p\)-adic ring

EXAMPLES:

sage: Zp(5).absolute_discriminant()
1
discriminant(K=None)#

Returns the discriminant of this \(p\)-adic ring over K

INPUT:

  • self – a \(p\)-adic ring

  • K – a sub-ring of self or None (default: None)

OUTPUT:

  • integer – the discriminant of this ring over K (or the absolute discriminant if K is None)

EXAMPLES:

sage: Zp(5).discriminant()
1
exact_field()#

Returns the rational field.

For compatibility with extensions of p-adics.

EXAMPLES:

sage: Zp(5).exact_field()
Rational Field
exact_ring()#

Returns the integer ring.

EXAMPLES:

sage: Zp(5).exact_ring()
Integer Ring
gen(n=0)#

Returns the nth generator of this extension. For base rings/fields, we consider the generator to be the prime.

EXAMPLES:

sage: R = Zp(5); R.gen()
5 + O(5^21)
has_pth_root()#

Returns whether or not \(\ZZ_p\) has a primitive \(p^{th}\) root of unity.

EXAMPLES:

sage: Zp(2).has_pth_root()
True
sage: Zp(17).has_pth_root()
False
has_root_of_unity(n)#

Returns whether or not \(\ZZ_p\) has a primitive \(n^{th}\) root of unity.

INPUT:

  • self – a \(p\)-adic ring

  • n – an integer

OUTPUT:

  • boolean – whether self has primitive \(n^{th}\) root of unity

EXAMPLES:

sage: R=Zp(37)
sage: R.has_root_of_unity(12)
True
sage: R.has_root_of_unity(11)
False
is_abelian()#

Returns whether the Galois group is abelian, i.e. True. #should this be automorphism group?

EXAMPLES:

sage: R = Zp(3, 10,'fixed-mod'); R.is_abelian()
True
is_isomorphic(ring)#

Returns whether self and ring are isomorphic, i.e. whether ring is an implementation of \(\ZZ_p\) for the same prime as self.

INPUT:

  • self – a \(p\)-adic ring

  • ring – a ring

OUTPUT:

  • boolean – whether ring is an implementation of ZZ_p` for the same prime as self.

EXAMPLES:

sage: R = Zp(5, 15, print_mode='digits'); S = Zp(5, 44, print_max_terms=4); R.is_isomorphic(S)
True
is_normal()#

Returns whether or not this is a normal extension, i.e. True.

EXAMPLES:

sage: R = Zp(3, 10,'fixed-mod'); R.is_normal()
True
modulus(exact=False)#

Returns the polynomial defining this extension.

For compatibility with extension fields; we define the modulus to be x-1.

INPUT:

  • exact – boolean (default False), whether to return a polynomial with integer entries.

EXAMPLES:

sage: Zp(5).modulus(exact=True)
x
plot(max_points=2500, **args)#

Create a visualization of this \(p\)-adic ring as a fractal similar to a generalization of the Sierpi'nski triangle.

The resulting image attempts to capture the algebraic and topological characteristics of \(\ZZ_p\).

INPUT:

  • max_points – the maximum number or points to plot, which controls the depth of recursion (default 2500)

  • **args – color, size, etc. that are passed to the underlying point graphics objects

0
