RingQQt

pre-defined polynomial rings

Syntax 
RingQQt(N: INT): RING

Description
This function returns a polynomial ring over QQ with indeterminates t[1]...t[N]. In particular RingQQt(1) is the polynomial ring in which Hilbert polynomials are defined.

NOTE: calling RingQQt(5) twice gives the same identical ring, whereas calling NewPolyRing(RingQQ(), SymbolRange("t", 1,5)) returns each time a new ring (therefore incompatible).

Example 
/**/  QQt := RingQQt(3);  Use QQt;
/**/  (t[1]+1)^3;
t[1]^3 +3*t[1]^2 +3*t[1] +1
/**/  indets(RingQQt(1));
[t]
/**/  indets(RingQQt(5));
[t[1], t[2], t[3], t[4], t[5]]
