matrix(NCRingMap) -- An NCMatrix associated to an NCRingMap.

Function: matrix
Usage:

matrix f
Inputs:
- f, an instance of the type NCRingMap,
Optional inputs:
- Degree => ..., default value null,
Outputs:
- an instance of the type NCMatrix,

Description

This function returns a matrix whose entries are the images of the source generators in the target ring of f. The type of matrix depends on the type of the target ring.

i1 : A = skewPolynomialRing(QQ,(-1)_QQ,{w,x,y,z})
--Calling Bergman for NCGB calculation.
Complete!

o1 = A

o1 : NCQuotientRing

i2 : B = QQ[a,b,c,SkewCommutative=>true]

o2 = B

o2 : PolynomialRing, 3 skew commutative variable(s)

i3 : f = ncMap(B,A,{a^3,b^2,a+b,a-b})

o3 = NCRingMap B <--- A

o3 : NCRingMap

i4 : matrix f

o4 = | 0 0 a+b a-b |

             1      4
o4 : Matrix B  <-- B

i5 : g = ncMap(A,A,{x,y,z,w})

o5 = NCRingMap A <--- A

o5 : NCRingMap

i6 : matrix g

o6 = | x y z w |

o6 : NCMatrix
