toMap("linear system")
When the input represents a list of homogeneous elements $F_0,\ldots,F_m\in R=K[t_0,\ldots,t_n]/I$ of the same degree, then the method returns the ring map $\phi:K[x_0,\ldots,x_m] \to R$ that sends $x_i$ into $F_i$.

If a positive integer $d$ is passed to the option Dominant, then the method returns the induced map on $K[x_0,\ldots,x_m]/J_d$, where $J_d$ is the ideal generated by all homogeneous elements of degree $d$ of the kernel of $\phi$ (in this case kernel(RingMap,ZZ) is called).
|
If the input is a pair consisting of a homogeneous ideal $I$ and an integer $v$, then the output will be the map defined by the linear system of hypersurfaces of degree $v$ which contain the projective subscheme defined by $I$.

|
This is identical to toMap(I,v,1), while the output of toMap(I,v,e) will be the map defined by the linear system of hypersurfaces of degree $v$ having points of multiplicity $e$ along the projective subscheme defined by $I$.
