A homalg map is a data structures for maps (module homomorphisms) between finitely generated modules. Each map in homalg knows its source (--> Source (homalg: Source)) and its target (--> Range (homalg: Range)). A map is represented by a homalg matrix relative to the current set of generators of the source resp. target homalg module. As with modules (--> Chapter 7), maps in homalg are realized in an intrinsic manner: If the presentations of the source or/and target module are altered after the map was constructed, a new adapted representation matrix of the map is automatically computed whenever needed. For this the internal transition matrices of the modules are used. homalg uses the so-called associative convention for maps. This means that maps of left modules are applied from the right, whereas maps of right modules from the left.

‣ IsMapOfFinitelyGeneratedModulesRep( phi ) | ( representation ) |
Returns: true or false

‣ HomalgMap( mat, M, N ) | ( function ) |
‣ HomalgMap( mat[, string] ) | ( function ) |
Returns: a homalg map
This constructor returns a map (homomorphism) of finitely presented modules. It is represented by the homalg matrix mat relative to the current set of generators of the source homalg module M and target module N (--> 7.2). Unless the source module is free and given on free generators the returned map will cautiously be indicated using parenthesis: homomorphism
. To verify if the result is indeed a well defined map use IsMorphism (homalg: IsMorphism). If the presentations of the source or/and target module are altered after the map was constructed, a new adapted representation matrix of the map is automatically computed whenever needed. For this the internal transition matrices of the modules are used. If source and target are identical objects, and only then, the map is created as a selfmap (endomorphism). homalg uses the so-called associative convention for maps. This means that maps of left modules are applied from the right, whereas maps of right modules from the left.

‣ HomalgZeroMap( M, N ) | ( function ) |
Returns: a homalg map
The constructor returns the zero map between the source homalg module M and the target homalg module N.
gap> zz := HomalgRingOfIntegers( );; gap> M := HomalgMatrix( "[ 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ]", 2, 3, zz ); <A 2 x 3 matrix over an internal ring> gap> M := LeftPresentation( M ); <A non-torsion left module presented by 2 relations for 3 generators> gap> N := HomalgMatrix( "[ 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ]", 2, 4, zz ); <A 2 x 4 matrix over an internal ring> gap> N := LeftPresentation( N ); <A non-torsion left module presented by 2 relations for 4 generators> gap> HomalgZeroMap( M, N ); <The zero morphism of left modules>
‣ HomalgIdentityMap( M, N ) | ( function ) |

gap> zz := HomalgRingOfIntegers( );; gap> M := HomalgMatrix( "[ 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ]", 2, 3, zz ); <A 2 x 3 matrix over an internal ring> gap> M := LeftPresentation( M ); <A non-torsion left module presented by 2 relations for 3 generators> gap> HomalgIdentityMap( M ); <The identity morphism of a non-zero left module>
‣ HomalgRing( phi ) | ( operation ) |
Returns: a homalg ring
The homalg ring of the homalg map phi.
gap> zz := HomalgRingOfIntegers( ); Z gap> phi := HomalgIdentityMap( 2 * zz ); <The identity morphism of a non-zero left module> gap> R := HomalgRing( phi ); Z gap> IsIdenticalObj( R, zz ); true
‣ PreInverse( phi ) | ( operation ) |
Returns: a homalg map, false, or fail
Compute a pre-inverse of the morphism phi in case one exists. For a pre-inverse to exist phi must be an epimorphism. For commutative rings homalg has an algorithm installed which decides the existence and returns a pre-inverse in case one exists. If a pre-inverse does not exist then false is returned. The algorithm finds a particular solution of a two-side inhomogeneous linear system over R :=HomalgRing( phi ). For noncommutative rings a heuristic method is installed. If it finds a pre-inverse it returns it, otherwise it returns fail (--> Principal limitation). The operation PreInverse is used to install a method for the property IsSplitEpimorphism (homalg: IsSplitEpimorphism).
PreInverse checks if it can decide the projectivity of Range( phi ).
