Fractional ideals

A fractional ideal in the number field $K$ is a $Z_K$-module $A$ such that there exists an integer $d>0$ which $dA$ is an (integral) ideal in $Z_K$. Due to the Dedekind property of $Z_K$, the ideals for a multiplicative group.

Fractional ideals are represented as an integral ideal and an additional denominator. They are of type NfOrdFracIdl.

Creation

fractional_idealMethod
fractional_ideal(O::NfAbsOrd, A::ZZMatrix, b::ZZRingElem, A_in_hnf::Bool = false) -> NfAbsOrdFracIdl

Creates the fractional ideal of $\mathcal O$ with basis matrix $A/b$. If A_in_hnf is set, then it is assumed that $A$ is already in lower left HNF.

fractional_idealMethod
fractional_ideal(O::NfAbsOrd, A::ZZMatrix, b::ZZRingElem, A_in_hnf::Bool = false) -> NfAbsOrdFracIdl

Creates the fractional ideal of $\mathcal O$ with basis matrix $A/b$. If A_in_hnf is set, then it is assumed that $A$ is already in lower left HNF.

fractional_idealMethod
fractional_ideal(O::NfAbsOrd, A::FakeFmpqMat, A_in_hnf::Bool = false) -> NfAbsOrdFracIdl

Creates the fractional ideal of $\mathcal O$ with basis matrix $A$. If A_in_hnf is set, then it is assumed that the numerator of $A$ is already in lower left HNF.

fractional_idealMethod
fractional_ideal(O::NfAbsOrd, a::NfAbsOrdElem) -> NfAbsOrdFracIdl

Creates the principal fractional ideal $(a)$ of $\mathcal O$.

invMethod
 inv(a::LocElem{T}, checked::Bool = true)  where {T <: RingElem}

Returns the inverse element of $a$ if $a$ is a unit. If 'checked = false' the invertibility of $a$ is not checked and the corresponding inverse element of the Fraction Field is returned.

inv(A::NfAbsOrdIdl) -> NfOrdFracIdl

Computes the inverse of $A$, that is, the fractional ideal $B$ such that $AB = \mathcal O_K$.

Arithmetic

All the normal operations are provided as well.

invMethod
 inv(a::LocElem{T}, checked::Bool = true)  where {T <: RingElem}

Returns the inverse element of $a$ if $a$ is a unit. If 'checked = false' the invertibility of $a$ is not checked and the corresponding inverse element of the Fraction Field is returned.

inv(A::NfAbsOrdFracIdl) -> NfAbsOrdFracIdl

Returns the fractional ideal $B$ such that $AB = \mathcal O$.

integral_splitMethod
integral_split(A::NfAbsOrdFracIdl) -> NfAbsOrdIdl, NfAbsOrdIdl

Computes the unique coprime integral ideals $N$ and $D$ s.th. $A = ND^{-1}$

numeratorMethod
numerator(a::NfRelOrdFracIdl) -> NfRelOrdIdl
