Inductive valuations on polynomial rings#

This module provides functionality for inductive valuations, i.e., finite chains of augmented valuations on top of a Gauss valuation.

  • Julian Rüth (2016-11-01): initial version

EXAMPLES:

A Gauss valuation is an example of an inductive valuation:

sage: R.<x> = QQ[]
sage: v = GaussValuation(R, QQ.valuation(2))

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> R = QQ['x']; (x,) = R._first_ngens(1)
>>> v = GaussValuation(R, QQ.valuation(Integer(2)))

Generally, an inductive valuation is an augmentation of an inductive valuation, i.e., a valuation that was created from a Gauss valuation in a finite number of augmentation steps:

sage: w = v.augmentation(x, 1)
sage: w = w.augmentation(x^2 + 2*x + 4, 3)

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> w = v.augmentation(x, Integer(1))
>>> w = w.augmentation(x**Integer(2) + Integer(2)*x + Integer(4), Integer(3))

REFERENCES:

Inductive valuations are originally discussed in [Mac1936I] and [Mac1936II]. An introduction is also given in Chapter 4 of [Rüt2014].

equivalence_decomposition(f, assume_not_equivalence_unit=False, coefficients=None, valuations=None, compute_unit=True, degree_bound=None)[source]#

Return an equivalence decomposition of f, i.e., a polynomial \(g(x)=e(x)\prod_i \phi_i(x)\) with \(e(x)\) an equivalence unit and the \(\phi_i\) key polynomials such that f is_equivalent() to \(g\).

INPUT:

  • f – a non-zero polynomial in the domain of this valuation

  • assume_not_equivalence_unit – whether or not to assume that f is not an equivalence unit (default: False)

  • coefficients – the coefficients of f in the phi()-adic expansion if known (default: None)

  • valuations – the valuations of coefficients if known (default: None)

  • compute_unit – whether or not to compute the unit part of the decomposition (default: True)

  • degree_bound – a bound on the degree of the _equivalence_reduction() of f (default: None)

ALGORITHM:

We use the algorithm described in Theorem 4.4 of [Mac1936II]. After removing all factors \(\phi\) from a polynomial \(f\), there is an equivalence unit \(R\) such that \(Rf\) has valuation zero. Now \(Rf\) can be factored as \(\prod_i \alpha_i\) over the residue_field(). Lifting all \(\alpha_i\) to key polynomials \(\phi_i\) gives \(Rf=\prod_i R_i f_i\) for suitable equivalence units \(R_i\) (see lift_to_key()). Taking \(R'\) an equivalence_reciprocal() of \(R\), we have \(f\) equivalent to \((R'\prod_i R_i)\prod_i\phi_i\).

EXAMPLES:

sage: # needs sage.libs.ntl
sage: R.<u> = Qq(4,10)
sage: S.<x> = R[]

A polynomial that is an equivalence unit, is returned as the unit part of a Factorization, leading to a unit non-minimal degree:

sage: w = v.augmentation(x, 1)                                              # needs sage.libs.ntl

(1 + O(2^10))*x^2 + 1 + O(2^10)

However, if the polynomial has a non-unit factor, then the unit might be replaced by a factor of lower degree:

sage: f = x * (x^2 + 1)                                                     # needs sage.libs.ntl

(1 + O(2^10))*x
sage: F.unit()                                                              # needs sage.libs.ntl
1 + O(2^10)

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> f = x * (x**Integer(2) + Integer(1))                                                     # needs sage.libs.ntl

(1 + O(2^10))*x
>>> F.unit()                                                              # needs sage.libs.ntl

We use the same algorithm as in equivalence_decomposition() we just do not lift the result to key polynomials.

INPUT:

  • f – a non-constant polynomial in the domain of this valuation

EXAMPLES:

is_key(phi, explain=False, assume_equivalence_irreducible=False)[source]#

Return whether phi is a key polynomial for this valuation, i.e., whether it is monic, whether it is_equivalence_irreducible(), and whether it is is_minimal().

INPUT:

  • phi – a polynomial in the domain of this valuation

  • explain – a boolean (default: False), if True, return a string explaining why phi is not a key polynomial

EXAMPLES:

sage: # needs sage.libs.ntl
sage: R.<u> = Qq(4, 5)
sage: S.<x> = R[]
sage: v = GaussValuation(S)
sage: v.is_key(x)

is_minimal(f, assume_equivalence_irreducible=False)[source]#

Return whether the polynomial f is minimal with respect to this valuation.

A polynomial \(f\) is minimal with respect to \(v\) if it is not a constant and any non-zero polynomial \(h\) which is \(v\)-divisible by \(f\) has at least the degree of \(f\).

A polynomial \(h\) is \(v\)-divisible by \(f\) if there is a polynomial \(c\) such that \(fc\) is_equivalent() to \(h\).

ALGORITHM:

Based on Theorem 9.4 of [Mac1936II].

EXAMPLES:

sage: # needs sage.libs.ntl
sage: R.<u> = Qq(4, 5)
sage: S.<x> = R[]
sage: v = GaussValuation(S)
sage: v.is_minimal(x + 1)

>>> v.is_minimal(x + Integer(1))
True
>>> w = v.augmentation(x, Integer(1))
>>> w.is_minimal(x + Integer(1))
False
lift_to_key(F)[source]#

Lift the irreducible polynomial F from the residue_ring() to a key polynomial over this valuation.

INPUT:

  • F – an irreducible non-constant monic polynomial in residue_ring() of this valuation

OUTPUT:

A polynomial \(f\) in the domain of this valuation which is a key polynomial for this valuation and which is such that an augmentation() with this polynomial adjoins a root of F to the resulting residue_ring().

More specifically, if F is not the generator of the residue ring, then multiplying f with the equivalence_reciprocal() of the equivalence_unit() of the valuation of f, produces a unit which reduces to F.

EXAMPLES:

sage: # needs sage.libs.ntl
sage: R.<u> = Qq(4,10)
sage: S.<x> = R[]
sage: v = GaussValuation(S)
sage: y = v.residue_ring().gen()
sage: u0 = v.residue_ring().base_ring().gen()
sage: f = v.lift_to_key(y^2 + y + u0); f
(1 + O(2^10))*x^2 + (1 + O(2^10))*x + u + O(2^10)

>>> from sage.all import *

Perform an approximation step towards the squarefree monic non-constant integral polynomial G which is not an equivalence unit.

This performs the individual steps that are used in mac_lane_approximants().

INPUT:

  • G – a squarefree monic non-constant integral polynomial G which is not an equivalence unit

  • principal_part_bound – an integer or None (default: None), a bound on the length of the principal part, i.e., the section of negative slope, of the Newton polygon of G

  • assume_squarefree – whether or not to assume that G is squarefree (default: False)

  • assume_equivalence_irreducible – whether or not to assume that G is equivalence irreducible (default: False)

  • report_degree_bounds_and_caches – whether or not to include internal state with the returned value (used by mac_lane_approximants() to speed up sequential calls)

  • coefficients – the coefficients of G in the phi()-adic expansion if known (default: None)

  • valuations – the valuations of coefficients if known (default: None)

  • check – whether to check that G is a squarefree monic non-constant integral polynomial and not an equivalence unit (default: True)

  • allow_equivalent_key – whether to return valuations which end in essentially the same key polynomial as this valuation but have a higher valuation assigned to that key polynomial (default: True)

EXAMPLES:

We can use this method to perform the individual steps of mac_lane_approximants():

Starting from the Gauss valuation, a MacLane step branches off with some linear key polynomials in the above example:

sage: v0 = GaussValuation(R, v)
sage: V1 = sorted(v0.mac_lane_step(f)); V1                                  # needs sage.geometry.polyhedron
[[ Gauss valuation induced by 2-adic valuation, v(x) = 2/5 ],
 [ Gauss valuation induced by 2-adic valuation, v(x) = 3/5 ],
 [ Gauss valuation induced by 2-adic valuation, v(x) = 11/9 ],
 [ Gauss valuation induced by 2-adic valuation, v(x) = 3 ]]

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> v0 = GaussValuation(R, v)
>>> V1 = sorted(v0.mac_lane_step(f)); V1                                  # needs sage.geometry.polyhedron
[[ Gauss valuation induced by 2-adic valuation, v(x) = 2/5 ],
 [ Gauss valuation induced by 2-adic valuation, v(x) = 3/5 ],
 [ Gauss valuation induced by 2-adic valuation, v(x) = 11/9 ],
 [ Gauss valuation induced by 2-adic valuation, v(x) = 3 ]]

The computation of MacLane approximants would now perform a MacLane step on each of these branches, note however, that a direct call to this method might produce some unexpected results:

sage: V1[1].mac_lane_step(f)                                                # needs sage.geometry.polyhedron
[[ Gauss valuation induced by 2-adic valuation, v(x) = 3/5, v(x^5 + 8) = 5 ],
 [ Gauss valuation induced by 2-adic valuation, v(x) = 3/5, v(x^10 + 8*x^5 + 64) = 7 ],
 [ Gauss valuation induced by 2-adic valuation, v(x) = 3 ],
 [ Gauss valuation induced by 2-adic valuation, v(x) = 11/9 ]]

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> V1[Integer(1)].mac_lane_step(f)                                                # needs sage.geometry.polyhedron
[[ Gauss valuation induced by 2-adic valuation, v(x) = 3/5, v(x^5 + 8) = 5 ],
 [ Gauss valuation induced by 2-adic valuation, v(x) = 3/5, v(x^10 + 8*x^5 + 64) = 7 ],
 [ Gauss valuation induced by 2-adic valuation, v(x) = 3 ],
 [ Gauss valuation induced by 2-adic valuation, v(x) = 11/9 ]]

Note how this detected the two augmentations of V1[1] but also two other valuations that we had seen in the previous step and that are greater than V1[1]. To ignore such trivial augmentations, we can set allow_equivalent_key:

sage: V1[1].mac_lane_step(f, allow_equivalent_key=False)                    # needs sage.geometry.polyhedron
[[ Gauss valuation induced by 2-adic valuation, v(x) = 3/5, v(x^5 + 8) = 5 ],
 [ Gauss valuation induced by 2-adic valuation, v(x) = 3/5, v(x^10 + 8*x^5 + 64) = 7 ]]

 [ Gauss valuation induced by 2-adic valuation, v(x) = 3/5, v(x^10 + 8*x^5 + 64) = 7 ]]
minimal_representative(f)[source]#

Return a minimal representative for f, i.e., a pair \(e, a\) such that f is_equivalent() to \(e a\), \(e\) is an equivalence unit, and \(a\) is_minimal() and monic.

INPUT:

  • f – a non-zero polynomial which is not an equivalence unit

OUTPUT:

A factorization which has \(e\) as its unit and \(a\) as its unique factor.

ALGORITHM:

We use the algorithm described in the proof of Lemma 4.1 of [Mac1936II]. In the expansion \(f=\sum_i f_i\phi^i\) take \(e=f_i\) for the largest \(i\) with \(f_i\phi^i\) minimal (see effective_degree()). Let \(h\) be the equivalence_reciprocal() of \(e\) and take \(a\) given by the terms of minimal valuation in the expansion of \(e f\).
