Torsion Quadratic Modules

A torsion quadratic module is the quotient $M/N$ of two quadratic integer lattices $N \subseteq M$ in the quadratic space $(V,\Phi)$. It inherits a bilinear form

\[b: M/N \times M/N \to \mathbb{Q} / n \mathbb{Z}\]

as well as a quadratic form

\[q: M/N \to \mathbb{Q} / m \mathbb{Z}.\]

where $n \mathbb{Z} = \Phi(M,N)$ and $m \mathbb{Z} = 2n\mathbb{Z} + \sum_{x \in N} \mathbb{Z} \Phi (x,x)$.

                                             check::Bool = true) -> TorQuadModule

Given a Z-lattice $M$ and a sublattice $N$ of $M$, return the torsion quadratic module $M/N$.

If gens is set, the images of gens will be used as the generators of the abelian group $M/N$.

If snf is true, the underlying abelian group will be in Smith normal form. Otherwise, the images of the basis of $M$ will be used as the generators.

One can decide on the modulus for the associated finite bilinear and quadratic forms by setting modulus and modulus_qf respectively to the desired values.

julia> A = matrix(ZZ, [[2,0,0,-1],[0,2,0,-1],[0,0,2,-1],[-1,-1,-1,2]]);

julia> L = integer_lattice(gram = A);

We represent torsion quadratic modules as quotients of $\mathbb{Z}$-lattices by a full rank sublattice.

We store them as a $\mathbb{Z}$-lattice M together with a projection p : M -> A onto an abelian group A. The bilinear structure of A is induced via p, that is <a, b> = <p^-1(a), p^-1(a)> with values in $\mathbb{Q}/n\mathbb{Z}$, where $n$ is the modulus and depends on the kernel of p.

Elements of A are basically just elements of the underlying abelian group. To move between M and A, we use the lift function lift : M -> A and coercion A(m).

Examples

julia> R = rescale(root_lattice(:D,4),2);

julia> D = discriminant_group(R);

julia> A = abelian_group(D)
(Z/2)^2 x (Z/4)^2

julia> d = D[1]

  of finite quadratic module: (Z/2)^2 x (Z/4)^2 -> Q/2Z

julia> d == D(A(d))
true

julia> lift(d)

 1

N.B. Since there are no elements of $\mathbb{Z}$-lattices, we think of elements of M as elements of the ambient vector space. Thus if v::Vector is such an element then the coordinates with respec to the basis of M are given by solve(basis_matrix(M), v; side = :left).
