# Localization¶

Localization is an important ring construction tool. Whenever you have to extend a given integral domain such that it contains the inverses of a finite set of elements but should allow non injective homomorphic images this construction will be needed. See the example on Ariki-Koike algebras below for such an application.

EXAMPLES:

sage: LZ = Localization(ZZ, (5,11))
sage: m = matrix(LZ, [[5, 7], [0,11]])
sage: m.parent()
Full MatrixSpace of 2 by 2 dense matrices over Integer Ring localized at (5, 11)
sage: ~m      # parent of inverse is different: see documentation of m.__invert__
[  1/5 -7/55]
[    0  1/11]
sage: _.parent()
Full MatrixSpace of 2 by 2 dense matrices over Rational Field
sage: mi = matrix(LZ, ~m)
sage: mi.parent()
Full MatrixSpace of 2 by 2 dense matrices over Integer Ring localized at (5, 11)
sage: mi == ~m
True


The next example defines the most general ring containing the coefficients of the irreducible representations of the Ariki-Koike algebra corresponding to the three colored permutations on three elements:

sage: R.<u0, u1, u2, q> = ZZ[]
sage: u = [u0, u1, u2]
sage: S = Set(u)
sage: I = S.cartesian_product(S)
sage: add_units = u + [q, q+1] + [ui -uj for ui, uj in I if ui != uj]\
+ [q*ui -uj for ui, uj in I if ui != uj]
Multivariate Polynomial Ring in u0, u1, u2, q over Integer Ring localized at
(q, q + 1, u2, u1, u1 - u2, u0, u0 - u2, u0 - u1, u2*q - u1, u2*q - u0,
u1*q - u2, u1*q - u0, u0*q - u2, u0*q - u1)


Define the representation matrices (of one of the three dimensional irreducible representations):

sage: m1 = matrix(L, [[u1, 0, 0],[0, u0, 0],[0, 0, u0]])
sage: m2 = matrix(L, [[(u0*q - u0)/(u0 - u1), (u0*q - u1)/(u0 - u1), 0],\
[(-u1*q + u0)/(u0 - u1), (-u1*q + u1)/(u0 - u1), 0],\
[0, 0, -1]])
sage: m3 = matrix(L, [[-1, 0, 0],\
[0, u0*(1 - q)/(u1*q - u0), q*(u1 - u0)/(u1*q - u0)],\
[0, (u1*q^2 - u0)/(u1*q - u0), (u1*q^ 2 - u1*q)/(u1*q - u0)]])
sage: m1.base_ring() == L
True

sage: m1*m2*m1*m2 == m2*m1*m2*m1
True
sage: m2*m3*m2 == m3*m2*m3
True
sage: m1*m3 == m3*m1
True
sage: m1**3 -(u0+u1+u2)*m1**2 +(u0*u1+u0*u2+u1*u2)*m1 - u0*u1*u2 == 0
True
sage: m2**2 -(q-1)*m2 - q == 0
True
sage: m3**2 -(q-1)*m3 - q == 0
True
sage: ~m1 in m1.parent()

sage: ~m2 in m2.parent()
True
sage: ~m3 in m3.parent()

class sage.rings.localization.Localization(base_ring, additional_units, names=None, normalize=True, category=None, warning=True)

The localization generalizes the construction of the field of fractions of an integral domain to an arbitrary ring. Given a (not necessarily commutative) ring $$R$$ and a subset $$S$$ of $$R$$, there exists a ring $$R[S^{-1}]$$ together with the ring homomorphism $$R \longrightarrow R[S^{-1}]$$ that “inverts” $$S$$; that is, the homomorphism maps elements in $$S$$ to unit elements in $$R[S^{-1}]$$ and, moreover, any ring homomorphism from $$R$$ that “inverts” $$S$$ uniquely factors through $$R[S^{-1}]$$.

The ring $$R[S^{-1}]$$ is called the localization of $$R$$ with respect to $$S$$. For example, if $$R$$ is a commutative ring and $$f$$ an element in $$R$$, then the localization consists of elements of the form $$r/f, r\in R, n \geq 0$$ (to be precise, $$R[f^{-1}] = R[t]/(ft-1)$$.

The above text is taken from $$Wikipedia$$. The construction here used for this class relies on the construction of the field of fraction and is therefore restricted to integral domains.

Accordingly, this class is inherited from IntegralDomain and can only be used in that context. Furthermore, the base ring should support sage.structure.element.CommutativeRingElement.divides() and the exact division operator $$//$$ (sage.structure.element.Element.__floordiv__()) in order to guarantee an successful application.

(1,)

is_field(proof=True)

Return True if this ring is a field.

INPUT:

• proof – (default: True) Determines what to do in unknown cases

ALGORITHM:

If the parameter proof is set to True, the returned value is correct but the method might throw an error. Otherwise, if it is set to False, the method returns True if it can establish that self is a field and False otherwise.

EXAMPLES:

sage: R = ZZ.localization((2,3))

krull_dimension()

Return the Krull dimension of this localization.

Since the current implementation just allows integral domains as base ring and localization at a finite set of elements the spectrum of self is open in the irreducible spectrum of its base ring. Therefore, by density we may take the dimension from there.

sage: R = ZZ.localization((2,3))
sage: R.krull_dimension()
1
