Hello,
I am trying to get matrix groups for the universal cyclotomic field
(which I am currently implementing) working. I encountered two
problems in this context:
1. the method MatrixGroup_gap.list contains the lines
a = F.prime_subfield().multiplicative_generator()
b = F.multiplicative_generator()
which is not even defined for QQ, so I guess it would be better to
replace them by
sage: a = F.prime_subfield()(1)
sage: b = F(1)
2. the second problem is the line
v = eval(s, {'a':a, 'b':b})
for the cyclotomic field, I get the following error:
sage: F = CyclotomicField(4)
sage: z = F.gen()
sage: m = matrix(2,[z,0,0,1])
sage: G = MatrixGroup([m])
sage: G.list()
------------------------------------------------------------
File "<string>", line 1
[[[!-1,!0],[!0,!1]],[[-zeta4,!0],[!0,!1]],[[zeta4,!0],[!0,!1]],[[!
1,!0],[!0,!1]]]
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
and for the new universal cyclotomic field, elements are written as
E(n), see http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/8327. Thus, to
solve the problem for the universal cyclotomic field, I would need to
add
from
sage.rings.universal_cyclotomic_field.universal_cyclotomic_field
import E
v = eval(s, {'a':a, 'b':b, 'E':E})
Would this be okay, or does that cause further trouble? I don't know
what the problem for the CF is...
Thanks for suggestions, Christian
