kernel(RingMap,ZZ) -- homogeneous components of the kernel of a homogeneous ring map

Synopsis

Function: kernel
Usage:

kernel(phi,d)
Inputs:
- phi, a ring map, $K[y_0,\ldots,y_m]/J \to K[x_0,\ldots,x_n]/I$, defined by homogeneous forms of the same degree and where $J$ and $I$ are homogeneous ideals
- d, an integer
Optional inputs:
- SubringLimit => ..., default value infinity,
Outputs:
- the ideal generated by all homogeneous elements of degree d belonging to the kernel of phi

Description

This is equivalent to ideal image basis(d,kernel phi), but we use a more direct algorithm. We take advantage of the homogeneity and reduce the problem to linear algebra. For small values of d this method can be very fast, as the following example shows.
