Orders

Orders, that is, unitary subrings that are free $\mathbf{Z}$-modules of rank equal to the degree of the number field, are at the core of the arithmetic of number fields. In Hecke, orders are always represented using the module structure, be it the $\mathbf{Z}$-module structure for orders of absolute numbers fields, or the structure as a module over the maximal order of the base field in the case of relative number fields. In this chapter we mainly deal with orders of absolute fields. However, many functions apply in same way to relative extensions. There are more general definitions of orders in number fields available, but those are (currently) not implemented in Hecke.

Among all orders in a fixed field, there is a unique maximal order, called the maximal order, or ring of integers of the number field. It is well known that this is the only order that is a Dedekind domain, hence has a rich ideal structure as well. The maximal order is also the integral closure of $\mathbf{Z}$ in the number field and can also be interpreted as a normalization of any other order.

Creation and basic properties

Order — Method
Order(a::Vector{AbsSimpleNumFieldElem}; check::Bool = true, cached::Bool = true, isbasis::Bool = false) -> AbsSimpleNumFieldOrder
Order(K::AbsSimpleNumField, a::Vector{AbsSimpleNumFieldElem}; check::Bool = true, cached::Bool = true, isbasis::Bool = false) -> AbsSimpleNumFieldOrder

Returns the order generated by $a$. If check is set, it is checked whether $a$ defines an order, in particular the integrality of the elements is checked by computing minimal polynomials. If isbasis is set, then elements are assumed to form a $\mathbf{Z}$-basis. If cached is set, then the constructed order is cached for future use.

Arithmetic

Progress and intermediate results of the functions mentioned here can be obtained via verbose_level, supported are

  • ClassGroup
  • UnitGroup

All of the functions have a very similar interface: they return an abelian group and a map converting elements of the group into the objects required. The maps also allow a point-wise inverse to server as the discrete logarithm map. For more information on abelian groups, see here, for ideals, here.

For the processing of units, there are a couple of helper functions also available:

is_independent — Function
is_independent{T}(x::Vector{T})

Given an array of non-zero units in a number field, returns whether they are multiplicatively independent.
