Complexes :: torSymmetry(ZZ,Module,Module)

torSymmetry(ZZ,Module,Module) -- makes the canonical isomorphism realizing the symmetry of Tor

Synopsis

Description

Tensor commutativity gives rise to an isomorphism from $\operatorname{Tor}_i^R(M, N)$ to $\operatorname{Tor}_i^R(N, M)$. This method returns this isomorphism.

We compute the Betti numbers of the Veronese surface in two ways: $\operatorname{Tor}(M, \ZZ/101)$ or via Koszul cohomology $\operatorname{Tor}(\ZZ/101, M)$.

Although the Tor modules are isomorphic, they are presented with different numbers of generators. As a consequence, the matrices need not be square. For example, after pruning the modules, $f_1$ and $f_2$ are represented by the same matrix.
