# distraction -- the image in the thetaRing of a torus-fixed ideal in a Weyl algebra

## Synopsis

• Usage:
distraction(I,thetaRing)
• Inputs:
• I, Ideal in a WeylAlgebra that is torus-fixed
• Outputs:
• an ideal, that results from intersecting I with the thetaRing of D, as in [SST, Lemma 2.3.1] to I.

## Description

This computes the distraction of a torus fixed D-ideal [SST, Corollary 2.3.5]. This is necessary to compute indicial ideals [SST, Theorem 2.3.9, Corollary 2.3.5]; the roots of the indicial ideals are the exponents of the starting terms of canonical series solutions of regular holonomic D-ideals.
