integralClosure(...,Variable=>...) -- set the base letter for the indexed variables introduced while computing the integral closure

Synopsis

Description

i1 : R = QQ[x,y,z]/ideal(x^6-z^6-y^2*z^4-z^3);
i2 : R' = integralClosure(R, Variable => symbol t)

o2 = R'

o2 : QuotientRing
i3 : trim ideal R'

                     2   3      2     3
o3 = ideal (t   z - x , t    - y z - z  - 1)
             3,0         3,0

o3 : Ideal of QQ[t   , x..z]
                  3,0

The algorithm works in stages, each time adding new fractions to the ring. A variable t_(3,0) represents the first (zero-th) variables added at stage 3.

Caveat

The base name should be a symbol The variables added may be changed to t_1, t_2, ... in the future.
