id="Constructing-objects-in-Julia-1"></a><a class="docs-heading-anchor-permalink" href="#Constructing-objects-in-Julia" title="Permalink"></a></h2><p>In Julia, one constructs objects of a given type by calling a type constructor. This is simply a function with the same name as the type itself. For example, to construct a <code>BigInt</code> object from an <code>Int</code> in Julia, we simply call the <code>BigInt</code> constructor:</p><pre><code class="language-julia hljs">n = BigInt(123)</code></pre><p>Note that a number literal too big to fit in an <code>Int</code> or <code>Int128</code> automatically creates a <code>BigInt</code>:</p><pre><code class="language-julia hljs">julia&gt; typeof(12345678765456787654567890987654567898765678909876567890)
 BigInt</code></pre><h2 id="How-we-construct-objects-in-AbstractAlgebra.jl"><a class="docs-heading-anchor" href="#How-we-construct-objects-in-AbstractAlgebra.jl">How we construct objects in AbstractAlgebra.jl</a><a id="How-we-construct-objects-in-AbstractAlgebra.jl-1"></a><a class="docs-heading-anchor-permalink" href="#How-we-construct-objects-in-AbstractAlgebra.jl" title="Permalink"></a></h2><p>As we explain in <a href="https://nemocas.github.io/AbstractAlgebra.jl/dev/extending_abstractalgebra/#Elements-and-parents">Elements and parents</a>, Julia types don&#39;t contain enough information to properly model groups, rings, fields, etc. Instead of using types to construct objects, we use special objects that we refer to as parent objects. They behave a lot like Julia types.</p><p>Consider the following simple example, to create a multiprecision integer:</p><pre><code class="language-julia hljs">n = ZZ(12345678765456787654567890987654567898765678909876567890)</code></pre><p>Here <code>ZZ</code> is not a Julia type, but a callable object. However, for most purposes one can think of such a parent object as though it were a type.</p><h2 id="Constructing-parent-objects"><a class="docs-heading-anchor" href="#Constructing-parent-objects">Constructing parent objects</a><a id="Constructing-parent-objects-1"></a><a class="docs-heading-anchor-permalink" href="#Constructing-parent-objects" title="Permalink"></a></h2><p>For more complicated groups, rings, fields, etc., one first needs to construct the parent object before one can use it to construct element objects.</p><p>AbstractAlgebra.jl provides a set of functions for constructing such parent objects. For example, to create a parent object for univariate polynomials over the integers, we use the <code>polynomial_ring</code> parent object constructor.</p><pre><code class="language-julia hljs">R, x = polynomial_ring(ZZ, &quot;x&quot;)
 f = x^3 + 3x + 1
-g = R(12)</code></pre><p>In this example, <code>R</code> is the parent object and we use it to convert the <code>Int</code> value <span>$12$</span> to an element of the polynomial ring <span>$\mathbb{Z}[x]$</span>.</p><h2 id="List-of-parent-object-constructors"><a class="docs-heading-anchor" href="#List-of-parent-object-constructors">List of parent object constructors</a><a id="List-of-parent-object-constructors-1"></a><a class="docs-heading-anchor-permalink" href="#List-of-parent-object-constructors" title="Permalink"></a></h2><p>For convenience, we provide a list of all the parent object constructors in AbstractAlgebra.jl and explain what mathematical domains they represent.</p><table><tr><th style="text-align: right">Mathematics</th><th style="text-align: right">AbstractAlgebra.jl constructor</th></tr><tr><td style="text-align: right"><span>$R = \mathbb{Z}$</span></td><td style="text-align: right"><code>R = ZZ</code></td></tr><tr><td style="text-align: right"><span>$R = \mathbb{Q}$</span></td><td style="text-align: right"><code>R = QQ</code></td></tr><tr><td style="text-align: right"><span>$R = \mathbb{F}_{p}$</span></td><td style="text-align: right"><code>R = GF(p)</code></td></tr><tr><td style="text-align: right"><span>$R = \mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$</span></td><td style="text-align: right"><code>R = residue_ring(ZZ, n)</code></td></tr><tr><td style="text-align: right"><span>$S = R[x]$</span></td><td style="text-align: right"><code>S, x = polynomial_ring(R, &quot;x&quot;)</code></td></tr><tr><td style="text-align: right"><span>$S = R[x, y]$</span></td><td style="text-align: right"><code>S, (x, y) = polynomial_ring(R, [&quot;x&quot;, &quot;y&quot;])</code></td></tr><tr><td style="text-align: right"><span>$S = R[[x]]$</span> (to precision <span>$n$</span>)</td><td style="text-align: right"><code>S, x = power_series_ring(R, n, &quot;x&quot;)</code></td></tr><tr><td style="text-align: right"><span>$S = R((x))$</span> (to precision <span>$n$</span>)</td><td style="text-align: right"><code>S, x = laurent_series_ring(R, n, &quot;x&quot;)</code></td></tr><tr><td style="text-align: right"><span>$S = K((x))$</span> (to precision <span>$n$</span>)</td><td style="text-align: right"><code>S, x = laurent_series_field(K, n, &quot;x&quot;)</code></td></tr><tr><td style="text-align: right"><span>$S = \mathrm{Frac}_R$</span></td><td style="text-align: right"><code>S = fraction_field(R)</code></td></tr><tr><td style="text-align: right"><span>$S = R/(f)$</span></td><td style="text-align: right"><code>S = residue_ring(R, f)</code></td></tr><tr><td style="text-align: right"><span>$S = R/(f)$</span> (with <span>$(f)$</span> maximal)</td><td style="text-align: right"><code>S = residue_field(R, f)</code></td></tr><tr><td style="text-align: right"><span>$S = \mathrm{Mat}_{m\times n}(R)$</span></td><td style="text-align: right"><code>S = matrix_space(R, m, n)</code></td></tr><tr><td style="text-align: right"><span>$S = \mathbb{Q}[x]/(f)$</span></td><td style="text-align: right"><code>S, a = number_field(f, &quot;a&quot;)</code></td></tr></table></article><nav class="docs-footer"><a class="docs-footer-prevpage" href="../extending_abstractalgebra/">« Extending the interface of AbstractAlgebra.jl</a><a class="docs-footer-nextpage" href="../ring_introduction/">Introduction »</a><div class="flexbox-break"></div><p class="footer-message">Powered by <a href="/JuliaDocs/Documenter.jl">Documenter.jl</a> and the <a href="https://julialang.org/">Julia Programming Language</a>.</p></nav></div><div class="modal" id="documenter-settings"><div class="modal-background"></div><div class="modal-card"><header class="modal-card-head"><p class="modal-card-title">Settings</p><button class="delete"></button></header><section class="modal-card-body"><p><label class="label">Theme</label><div class="select"><select id="documenter-themepicker"><option value="documenter-light">documenter-light</option><option value="documenter-dark">documenter-dark</option><option value="auto">Automatic (OS)</option></select></div></p><hr/><p>This document was generated with <a href="/JuliaDocs/Documenter.jl">Documenter.jl</a> version 1.1.0 on <span class="colophon-date" title="Thursday 5 October 2023 09:06">Thursday 5 October 2023</span>.

href="#Field-Interface" title="Permalink"></a></h1><p>AbstractAlgebra.jl generic code makes use of a standardised set of functions which it expects to be implemented for all fields. Here we document this interface. All libraries which want to make use of the generic capabilities of AbstractAlgebra.jl must supply all of the required functionality for their fields.</p><h2 id="Types"><a class="docs-heading-anchor" href="#Types">Types</a><a id="Types-1"></a><a class="docs-heading-anchor-permalink" href="#Types" title="Permalink"></a></h2><p>Most fields must supply two types:</p><ul><li>a type for the parent object (representing the field itself)</li><li>a type for elements of that field</li></ul><p>For example, the generic fraction field type in AbstractAlgebra.jl provides two  types in <code>generic/GenericTypes.jl</code>: </p><ul><li><code>Generic.FracField{T}</code> for the parent objects</li><li><code>Generic.Frac{T}</code> for the actual fractions</li></ul><p>The parent type must belong to <code>Field</code> and the element type must belong to <code>FieldElem</code>. Of course, the types may belong to these abstract types transitively.</p><p>For parameterised fields, we advise that the types of both the parent objects and element objects to be parameterised by the types of the elements of the base ring.</p><p>There can be variations on this theme: e.g. in some areas of mathematics there is a notion of a coefficient domain, in which case it may make sense to parameterise all types by the type of elements of this coefficient domain. But note that this may have implications for the ad hoc operators one might like to explicitly implement.</p><h2 id="FieldElement-type-union"><a class="docs-heading-anchor" href="#FieldElement-type-union">FieldElement type union</a><a id="FieldElement-type-union-1"></a><a class="docs-heading-anchor-permalink" href="#FieldElement-type-union" title="Permalink"></a></h2><p>Because of its lack of multiple inheritance, Julia does not allow Julia Base types to belong to <code>FieldElem</code>. To allow us to work equally with AbstractAlgebra and Julia types that represent elements of fields we define a union type <code>FieldElement</code> in <code>src/julia/JuliaTypes</code>.</p><p>So far, in addition to <code>FieldElem</code> the  union type <code>FieldElement</code> includes the Julia types <code>Rational</code> and <code>AbstractFloat</code>.</p><p>Most of the generic code in AbstractAlgebra makes use of the union type <code>FieldElement</code> instead of <code>FieldElem</code> so that the generic functions also accept the Julia Base field types.</p><div class="admonition is-info"><header class="admonition-header">Note</header><div class="admonition-body"><p>One must be careful when defining ad hoc binary operations for field element types. It is often necessary to define separate versions of the functions for <code>FieldElem</code> then for each of the Julia types separately in order to avoid ambiguity warnings.</p></div></div><p>Note that even though <code>FieldElement</code> is a union type we still have the following inclusion</p><pre><code class="language-julia hljs">FieldElement &lt;: RingElement</code></pre><h2 id="Parent-object-caches"><a class="docs-heading-anchor" href="#Parent-object-caches">Parent object caches</a><a id="Parent-object-caches-1"></a><a class="docs-heading-anchor-permalink" href="#Parent-object-caches" title="Permalink"></a></h2><p>In many cases, it is desirable to have only one object in the system to represent each field. This means that if the same field is constructed twice, elements of the two fields will be compatible as far as arithmetic is concerned.</p><p>In order to facilitate this, global caches of fields are stored in AbstractAlgebra.jl, usually implemented using dictionaries. For example, the <code>Generic.FracField</code> parent objects are looked up in a dictionary <code>FracDict</code> to see if they have been previously defined.</p><p>Whether these global caches are provided or not, depends on both mathematical and algorithmic considerations. E.g. in the case of number fields, it isn&#39;t desirable to identify all number fields with the same defining polynomial, as they may be considered with distinct embeddings into one another. In other cases, identifying whether two fields are the same may be prohibitively expensive. Generally, it may only make sense algorithmically to identify two fields if they were constructed from identical data.</p><p>If a global cache is provided, it must be optionally possible to construct the parent objects without caching. This is done by passing a boolean value <code>cached</code> to the inner constructor of the parent object. See <code>generic/GenericTypes.jl</code> for examples of how to construct and handle such caches.</p><h2 id="Required-functions-for-all-fields"><a class="docs-heading-anchor" href="#Required-functions-for-all-fields">Required functions for all fields</a><a id="Required-functions-for-all-fields-1"></a><a class="docs-heading-anchor-permalink" href="#Required-functions-for-all-fields" title="Permalink"></a></h2><p>In the following, we list all the functions that are required to be provided for fields in AbstractAlgebra.jl or by external libraries wanting to use AbstractAlgebra.jl.</p><p>We give this interface for fictitious types <code>MyParent</code> for the type of the field parent object <code>R</code> and <code>MyElem</code> for the type of the elements of the field.</p><div class="admonition is-info"><header class="admonition-header">Note</header><div class="admonition-body"><p>Generic functions in AbstractAlgebra.jl may not rely on the existence of functions that are not documented here.

href="#Field-Interface" title="Permalink"></a></h1><p>AbstractAlgebra.jl generic code makes use of a standardised set of functions which it expects to be implemented for all fields. Here we document this interface. All libraries which want to make use of the generic capabilities of AbstractAlgebra.jl must supply all of the required functionality for their fields.</p><h2 id="Types"><a class="docs-heading-anchor" href="#Types">Types</a><a id="Types-1"></a><a class="docs-heading-anchor-permalink" href="#Types" title="Permalink"></a></h2><p>Most fields must supply two types:</p><ul><li>a type for the parent object (representing the field itself)</li><li>a type for elements of that field</li></ul><p>For example, the generic fraction field type in AbstractAlgebra.jl provides two  types in <code>generic/GenericTypes.jl</code>: </p><ul><li><code>Generic.FracField{T}</code> for the parent objects</li><li><code>Generic.Frac{T}</code> for the actual fractions</li></ul><p>The parent type must belong to <code>Field</code> and the element type must belong to <code>FieldElem</code>. Of course, the types may belong to these abstract types transitively.</p><p>For parameterised fields, we advise that the types of both the parent objects and element objects to be parameterised by the types of the elements of the base ring.</p><p>There can be variations on this theme: e.g. in some areas of mathematics there is a notion of a coefficient domain, in which case it may make sense to parameterise all types by the type of elements of this coefficient domain. But note that this may have implications for the ad hoc operators one might like to explicitly implement.</p><h2 id="FieldElement-type-union"><a class="docs-heading-anchor" href="#FieldElement-type-union">FieldElement type union</a><a id="FieldElement-type-union-1"></a><a class="docs-heading-anchor-permalink" href="#FieldElement-type-union" title="Permalink"></a></h2><p>Because of its lack of multiple inheritance, Julia does not allow Julia Base types to belong to <code>FieldElem</code>. To allow us to work equally with AbstractAlgebra and Julia types that represent elements of fields we define a union type <code>FieldElement</code> in <code>src/julia/JuliaTypes</code>.</p><p>So far, in addition to <code>FieldElem</code> the  union type <code>FieldElement</code> includes the Julia types <code>Rational</code> and <code>AbstractFloat</code>.</p><p>Most of the generic code in AbstractAlgebra makes use of the union type <code>FieldElement</code> instead of <code>FieldElem</code> so that the generic functions also accept the Julia Base field types.</p><div class="admonition is-info"><header class="admonition-header">Note</header><div class="admonition-body"><p>One must be careful when defining ad hoc binary operations for field element types. It is often necessary to define separate versions of the functions for <code>FieldElem</code> then for each of the Julia types separately in order to avoid ambiguity warnings.</p></div></div><p>Note that even though <code>FieldElement</code> is a union type we still have the following inclusion</p><pre><code class="language-julia hljs">FieldElement &lt;: RingElement</code></pre><h2 id="Parent-object-caches"><a class="docs-heading-anchor" href="#Parent-object-caches">Parent object caches</a><a id="Parent-object-caches-1"></a><a class="docs-heading-anchor-permalink" href="#Parent-object-caches" title="Permalink"></a></h2><p>In many cases, it is desirable to have only one object in the system to represent each field. This means that if the same field is constructed twice, elements of the two fields will be compatible as far as arithmetic is concerned.</p><p>In order to facilitate this, global caches of fields are stored in AbstractAlgebra.jl, usually implemented using dictionaries. For example, the <code>Generic.FracField</code> parent objects are looked up in a dictionary <code>FracDict</code> to see if they have been previously defined.</p><p>Whether these global caches are provided or not, depends on both mathematical and algorithmic considerations. E.g. in the case of number fields, it isn&#39;t desirable to identify all number fields with the same defining polynomial, as they may be considered with distinct embeddings into one another. In other cases, identifying whether two fields are the same may be prohibitively expensive. Generally, it may only make sense algorithmically to identify two fields if they were constructed from identical data.</p><p>If a global cache is provided, it must be optionally possible to construct the parent objects without caching. This is done by passing a boolean value <code>cached</code> to the inner constructor of the parent object. See <code>generic/GenericTypes.jl</code> for examples of how to construct and handle such caches.</p><h2 id="Required-functions-for-all-fields"><a class="docs-heading-anchor" href="#Required-functions-for-all-fields">Required functions for all fields</a><a id="Required-functions-for-all-fields-1"></a><a class="docs-heading-anchor-permalink" href="#Required-functions-for-all-fields" title="Permalink"></a></h2><p>In the following, we list all the functions that are required to be provided for fields in AbstractAlgebra.jl or by external libraries wanting to use AbstractAlgebra.jl.</p><p>We give this interface for fictitious types <code>MyParent</code> for the type of the field parent object <code>R</code> and <code>MyElem</code> for the type of the elements of the field.</p><div class="admonition is-info"><header class="admonition-header">Note</header><div class="admonition-body"><p>Generic functions in AbstractAlgebra.jl may not rely on the existence of functions that are not documented here.

interfaces that can be extended with new types that implement those interfaces. For example, if one were implementing a new polynomial ring type, one would implement all of the required functionality described in this chapter for the relevant AbstractAlgebra interfaces. This would include the Ring Interface and the Univariate Polynomial Ring Interface.</p><p>Once a new type implements all the required functionality, all the corresponding generic functionality would then function automatically for the new type.</p><p>One may then go on to implement some of the optional functionality for performance if the provided generic functionality is insufficient.</p><p>AbstractAlgebra tries to provide all generic constructions recursively so that one can have towers of generic constructions. This means that new interfaces should generally only be added if they cooperate with all the existing interfaces, at least so far as the theory exists to do so.</p></article><nav class="docs-footer"><a class="docs-footer-prevpage" href="../misc/">« Miscellaneous</a><a class="docs-footer-nextpage" href="../ring_interface/">Ring Interface »</a><div class="flexbox-break"></div><p class="footer-message">Powered by <a href="/JuliaDocs/Documenter.jl">Documenter.jl</a> and the <a href="https://julialang.org/">Julia Programming Language</a>.</p></nav></div><div class="modal" id="documenter-settings"><div class="modal-background"></div><div class="modal-card"><header class="modal-card-head"><p class="modal-card-title">Settings</p><button class="delete"></button></header><section class="modal-card-body"><p><label class="label">Theme</label><div class="select"><select id="documenter-themepicker"><option value="documenter-light">documenter-light</option><option value="documenter-dark">documenter-dark</option><option value="auto">Automatic (OS)</option></select></div></p><hr/><p>This document was generated with <a href="/JuliaDocs/Documenter.jl">Documenter.jl</a> version 1.1.0 on <span class="colophon-date" title="Thursday 5 October 2023 09:06">Thursday 5 October 2023</span>.

interfaces that can be extended with new types that implement those interfaces. For example, if one were implementing a new polynomial ring type, one would implement all of the required functionality described in this chapter for the relevant AbstractAlgebra interfaces. This would include the Ring Interface and the Univariate Polynomial Ring Interface.</p><p>Once a new type implements all the required functionality, all the corresponding generic functionality would then function automatically for the new type.</p><p>One may then go on to implement some of the optional functionality for performance if the provided generic functionality is insufficient.</p><p>AbstractAlgebra tries to provide all generic constructions recursively so that one can have towers of generic constructions. This means that new interfaces should generally only be added if they cooperate with all the existing interfaces, at least so far as the theory exists to do so.</p></article><nav class="docs-footer"><a class="docs-footer-prevpage" href="../misc/">« Miscellaneous</a><a class="docs-footer-nextpage" href="../ring_interface/">Ring Interface »</a><div class="flexbox-break"></div><p class="footer-message">Powered by <a href="/JuliaDocs/Documenter.jl">Documenter.jl</a> and the <a href="https://julialang.org/">Julia Programming Language</a>.</p></nav></div><div class="modal" id="documenter-settings"><div class="modal-background"></div><div class="modal-card"><header class="modal-card-head"><p class="modal-card-title">Settings</p><button class="delete"></button></header><section class="modal-card-body"><p><label class="label">Theme</label><div class="select"><select id="documenter-themepicker"><option value="documenter-light">documenter-light</option><option value="documenter-dark">documenter-dark</option><option value="auto">Automatic (OS)</option></select></div></p><hr/><p>This document was generated with <a href="/JuliaDocs/Documenter.jl">Documenter.jl</a> version 1.1.0 on <span class="colophon-date" title="Sunday 8 October 2023 18:46">Sunday 8 October 2023</span>.

title="Permalink"></a></h1><p>AbstractAlgebra.jl supports commutative rings through its <code>Ring</code> interface. In this section we describe the corresponding interface for noncommutative rings. The two interfaces are very similar in terms of required functionality, and so we mainly document the differences here.</p><p>Noncommutative rings can be supported through the abstract types <code>NCRing</code> and <code>NCRingElem</code>.

additional functions are required to be present for univariate polynomial rings.</p><p>Univariate polynomial rings can be built over both commutative and noncommutative rings.</p><p>Univariate polynomial rings over a field are also Euclidean and therefore such rings must implement the Euclidean interface.</p><p>Since a sparse distributed multivariate format can generally also handle sparse univariate polynomials, the univariate polynomial interface is designed around the assumption that they are dense.

<code>Generic.ResidueFieldElem{T}</code>, where <code>T</code> is the type of elements of the base ring. See the file <code>src/generic/GenericTypes.jl</code> for details.</p><p>Parent objects of generic residue ring elements have type <code>Generic.ResidueRing{T}</code> and those of residue fields have type <code>GenericResField{T}</code>.</p><p>The defining modulus of the residue ring is stored in the parent object.</p><h2 id="Abstract-types"><a class="docs-heading-anchor" href="#Abstract-types">Abstract types</a><a id="Abstract-types-1"></a><a class="docs-heading-anchor-permalink" href="#Abstract-types" title="Permalink"></a></h2><p>All residue element types belong to the abstract type <code>ResElem{T}</code> or <code>ResFieldElem{T}</code> in the case of residue fields, and the residue ring types belong to the abstract type <code>ResidueRing{T}</code> or <code>ResidueField{T}</code> respectively.

<code>Generic.ResidueFieldElem{T}</code>, where <code>T</code> is the type of elements of the base ring. See the file <code>src/generic/GenericTypes.jl</code> for details.</p><p>Parent objects of generic residue ring elements have type <code>Generic.ResidueRing{T}</code> and those of residue fields have type <code>GenericResField{T}</code>.</p><p>The defining modulus of the residue ring is stored in the parent object.</p><h2 id="Abstract-types"><a class="docs-heading-anchor" href="#Abstract-types">Abstract types</a><a id="Abstract-types-1"></a><a class="docs-heading-anchor-permalink" href="#Abstract-types" title="Permalink"></a></h2><p>All residue element types belong to the abstract type <code>ResElem{T}</code> or <code>ResFieldElem{T}</code> in the case of residue fields, and the residue ring types belong to the abstract type <code>ResidueRing{T}</code> or <code>ResidueField{T}</code> respectively.
