isNormalMA -- Test whether a simplicial monomial algebra is normal.

Usage:

isNormalMA R

isNormalMA B

isNormalMA M
Inputs:
- R, a polynomial ring, with B = degrees R and K = coefficientRing R, or
- B, a list, with the generators of an affine semigroup in \mathbb{N}^d.
- M, a MonomialAlgebra,
Outputs:
- a Boolean value,

Description

Test whether the simplicial monomial algebra K[B] is normal.

Note that this condition does not depend on K.

i1 : B={{1,0,0},{0,2,0},{0,0,2},{1,0,1},{0,1,1}}

o1 = {{1, 0, 0}, {0, 2, 0}, {0, 0, 2}, {1, 0, 1}, {0, 1, 1}}

o1 : List

i2 : R=QQ[x_0..x_4,Degrees=>B]

o2 = R

o2 : PolynomialRing

i3 : isNormalMA R

o3 = false

i4 : isSeminormalMA R

o4 = true

i5 : B={{1,0,0},{0,2,0},{0,0,2},{1,0,1},{0,1,1}}

o5 = {{1, 0, 0}, {0, 2, 0}, {0, 0, 2}, {1, 0, 1}, {0, 1, 1}}

o5 : List

i6 : M=monomialAlgebra B

      ZZ
o6 = ---[x ..x ]
     101  0   4

o6 : MonomialAlgebra generated by {{1, 0, 0}, {0, 2, 0}, {0, 0, 2}, {1, 0, 1}, {0, 1, 1}}

i7 : isNormalMA M

o7 = false

i8 : isSeminormalMA M

o8 = true

Ways to use isNormalMA:

isNormalMA(List)
isNormalMA(MonomialAlgebra)
isNormalMA(PolynomialRing)

For the programmer

The object isNormalMA is a method function.
