ringToAlgebraMap -- presents the target of a map of rings as an algebra over the source

Synopsis

Description

Given a ringmap map $f: A \to B$, this writes $B$ as $A[...]/J$. It returns the ring $A[...]/J$ as well as the isomorphism $B \to A[...]/J$. Consider the first example, a normalization of a cusp.

i1 : A = QQ[a,b]/ideal(a^2-b^3);
 
i2 : B = QQ[t];
 
i3 : f = map(B, A, {t^3, t^2});

o3 : RingMap B <-- A
 
i4 : (ringToAlgebraMap(f))#0

                     A[tRE1]
o4 = --------------------------------------
          2                              2
     (tRE1  - b, b*tRE1 - a, - a*tRE1 + b )

o4 : QuotientRing
 
i5 : (ringToAlgebraMap(f))#1

                          A[tRE1]
o5 = map (--------------------------------------, B, {tRE1})
               2                              2
          (tRE1  - b, b*tRE1 - a, - a*tRE1 + b )

                             A[tRE1]
o5 : RingMap -------------------------------------- <-- B
                  2                              2
             (tRE1  - b, b*tRE1 - a, - a*tRE1 + b )

The second input is used to specify an integer used for new variable enumeration and labeling. Here is another example where we consider the Frobenius map.

i6 : A = ZZ/5[x,y,z]/ideal(x^2-y*z);
 
i7 : B = ZZ/5[X,Y,Z]/ideal(X^2-Y*Z);
 
i8 : f = map(B, A, {X^5, Y^5, Z^5});

o8 : RingMap B <-- A
 
i9 : (ringToAlgebraMap(f))#0

     (XRE1  - YRE1*ZRE1, z*YRE1  - x*XRE1*ZRE1 , x*YRE1  - y*XRE1*ZRE1 , z*XRE1*YRE1  - x*ZRE1 , x*XRE1*YRE1  - y*ZRE1 , ZRE1  - z, XRE1*YRE1 ZRE1  - x, YRE1  - y, YRE1 ZRE1  - x*XRE1)
