pushForward(RingMap,Module)

Synopsis

Description

Currently, R and S must both be polynomial rings over the same base field.

This function first checks to see whether M will be a finitely generated R-module via F. If not, an error message describing the codimension of M/(vars of S)M is given (this is equal to the dimension of R iff M is a finitely generated R-module.

Assuming that it is, the push forward F_*(M) is computed. This is done by first finding a presentation for M in terms of a set of elements which generate M as an S-module, and then calling the routine pushForward1.

All optional arguments are passed to pushForward1.

Example: The Auslander-Buchsbaum formula

Let's illustrate the Auslander-Buchsbaum formula. First construct some rings and make a module of projective dimension 2.
i1 : R4 = ZZ/32003[a..d];
i2 : R5 = ZZ/32003[a..e];
i3 : R6 = ZZ/32003[a..f];
i4 : M = coker genericMatrix(R6,a,2,3)

o4 = cokernel | a c e |
              | b d f |

                              2
o4 : R6-module, quotient of R6
i5 : pdim M

o5 = 2
Create ring maps.
i6 : G = map(R6,R5,{a+b+c+d+e+f,b,c,d,e})

o6 = map(R6,R5,{a + b + c + d + e + f, b, c, d, e})

o6 : RingMap R6 <--- R5
i7 : F = map(R5,R4,random(R5^1, R5^{4:-1}))

o7 = map(R5,R4,{- 2136a + 9349b + 8735c - 5609d - 9489e, 13529a - 15802b -
     ------------------------------------------------------------------------
     371c - 545d - 2519e, - 11250a - 14212b - 1270c - 1415d + 626e, 1414a -
     ------------------------------------------------------------------------
     3327b - 4035c + 11874d - 13874e})

o7 : RingMap R5 <--- R4
The module M, when thought of as an R5 or R4 module, has the same depth, but since depth M + pdim M = dim ring, the projective dimension will drop to 1, respectively 0, for these two rings.
i8 : P = pushForward(G,M)

o8 = cokernel | c -de               |
              | d bc-ad+bd+cd+d2+de |

                              2
o8 : R5-module, quotient of R5
i9 : pdim P

o9 = 1
i10 : Q = pushForward(F,P)

        3
o10 = R4

o10 : R4-module, free, degrees {0, 1, 0}
i11 : pdim Q

o11 = 0

Example: generic projection of a homogeneous coordinate ring

We compute the pushforward N of the homogeneous coordinate ring M of the twisted cubic curve in P^3.
i12 : P3 = QQ[a..d];
i13 : M = comodule monomialCurveIdeal(P3,{1,2,3})

o13 = cokernel | c2-bd bc-ad b2-ac |

                               1
o13 : P3-module, quotient of P3
The result is a module with the same codimension, degree and genus as the twisted cubic, but the support is a cubic in the plane, necessarily having one node.
i14 : P2 = QQ[a,b,c];
i15 : F = map(P3,P2,random(P3^1, P3^{-1,-1,-1}))

Caveat

The module M must be homogeneous, as must R, S, and f. If you need this function in more general situations, please write it and send it to the Macaulay2 authors, or ask them to write it!
