coApproximationSequence -- Short exact sequence of the MCM coapproximation

Description

The coapproximation sequence of a module M over a Gorenstein ring is the versal short exact sequence $$0\to M \to P \to M' \to 0$$ where M' is a maximal Cohen-Macaulay module and P is a module of finite projective dimension, as defined by Auslander and Buchweitz.

i1 : S = ZZ/101[a,b]/ideal(a^3+b^3)

o1 = S

o1 : QuotientRing
i2 : R = S/ideal(a*b)

o2 = R

o2 : QuotientRing
i3 : M = R^1/(ideal vars R)^2

o3 = cokernel | a2 0 b2 |
