Amer. Math. Soc. 355 (2003), 4397-4426, Sheaf Algorithms Using the Exterior Algebra, by Wolfram Decker and David Eisenbud http://www.math.uiuc.edu/Macaulay2/Book/ This would be good for someone who wants to learn the underlying (advanced) theory. See the preliminary code in BGG.m2. See also the code on Frank Schreyer's web site (http://math.uni-sb.de/ag-schreyer/home/computeralgebra.htm) in computingRpi_star.m2 associated with math.AG/0506391, which implements the algorithm, but it needs to be put into a package form, with a general interface. ============================================================================= Proposed by: Wolfram Decker , Frank Schreyer Potential Advisor: Frank Schreyer Project assigned to: Mike Stillman and David Eisenbud, March, 2009.
