syzygy modules

Syntax

Syz(L: LIST of RINGELEM): MODULE
Syz(M: IDEAL|MODULE, Index: INT): MODULE

Description

In the first two forms this function computes the syzygy module of a list of polynomials or module elements. SyzOfGens(I) is the same as Syz(gens(I)) .

In the last form this function returns the specified syzygy module of the minimal free resolution of M which must be homogeneous. As a side effect, it computes the Groebner basis of M. (***** NOT YET IMPLEMENTED *****)

The coefficient ring must be a field.

Example

/**/  Use R ::= QQ[x,y,z];
/**/  indent(Syz([x^2-y-1, y^3-z, x^2-y, y^3-z]));
SubmoduleRows(F, matrix(
  [y^3 -z, 0, 0, -x^2 +y +1],
  [0, 1, 0, -1],
  [x^2 -y, 0, -x^2 +y +1, 0],
  [0, 0, y^3 -z, -x^2 +y]
))

/**/  I := ideal(x, x, y);
/**/  syz(gens(I));
submodule(FreeModule(..), [[1, -1, 0], [0, y, -x]])
/**/  SyzOfGens(I);
submodule(FreeModule(..), [[1, -1, 0], [0, y, -x]])

-------------------------------
  Syz(I,2);
Module([0, z, -x, y], [-z^2, -x, y, -z])
-------------------------------
  Syz(I,3);
Module([[0]])
-------------------------------
  Res(I);
