[sage-support] Field Embeddings..

Hi, I have the following problem: M=MatrixSpace(GF(2^2,'a'),5) A=M.random_element() N=MatrixSpace(GF(2^4,'a'),5) N(A) TypeError: unable to coerce from a finite field other than the prime subfield Is there a simple way around non prime subfield embeddings? Thanks, -- To post to this group, se

Hi, suppose I have a field embedding A = GF(2^4) -> B = GF(2^20) say, and I pick a homomorphism phi from C=A.Hom(GF(2^20,'x')), e.g. sage: phi Ring morphism: From: Finite Field in x of size 2^4 To: Finite Field in x of size 2^20 Defn: x |--> x^19 + x^14 + x^13 + x^12 + x^10
