Remarkable is that for f = x^4+1/(b)*(1/zzz) f is correctly translated to Singular:
sage: K0=GF(11) sage: #K0=QQ sage: R0.<b>=K0[] sage: K.<b>=K0.extension(b^5+4) sage: R1.<zzz>=K[] sage: L=FractionField(R1) sage: R.<x>=L[] sage: f=x^4+1/(b)*(1/zzz) sage: f._singular_() -1/(4*zzz)*b^4+x^4 That looks problematic, but is likely a different issue from what happens > on the asksage question. > I think it is the same issue. I checked that Singular is called to compute the roots using Singulars factorize() method. But even if *f* would be correctly translated to Singular the example at AskSage would not work, since Singulars factorize() behaves unexpectedly in quotient rings; example (in Singular): ring rng = 0,(x,b),lp; short = 0; qring qr = b^2-2; poly f = x^2-2; factorize(f); // expecting: (x-b)*(x+b) ? [1]: _[1]=1 _[2]=x^2-2 [2]: 1,1 Probably I should open a ticket and move the discussion to the ticket Am Mittwoch, 3.
