Tensor products, quotients, etc., of free modules
Comment from Mike: I'm highly interested in this functionality as I need it for a lot of things. It would be nice to be able to tensor over rings other than just the base ring.
Soroosh's Wish List: Here is a list of things that I think it would be nice to have in Sage. I think some of them are in already.
- kernel
- cokernel
torsion: Given R-module M and an R-Ideal I, construct the submodule M[I]=\{m \in M | xm=0 \mbox{ for all } x \in I\}
intersection: Given R-module M and two submodules N_1 and N_2, find the submodule N_1 \cap N_2
sum: Given R-module M and two submodules N_1 and N_2, find the submodule N_1+N_2
- tensor product
hom module: Given R-modules M_1 and M_2, construct the module Hom_R(M_1, M_2)
Change of ring: Given R-modules M and an R-algebra A, construct the A-module M \otimes A.
- Annihilator
- Rank: Calculate the rank of an R-module M.
- direct sum
- treating ideals as an R-modules.
