isotropicSpace -- part of a RandomNicePencil

Description

a row matrix whose entries are generators of the ideal of an isotropic subspace for qq.

i1 : kk=ZZ/101;
 
i2 : setRandomSeed 0
 -- setting random seed to 0

o2 = 0
 
i3 : g=1;
 
i4 : rNP=randNicePencil(kk,g);
 
i5 : u=rNP.isotropicSpace

o5 = | x_0 z_1 z_2 |
