leftMultiplicationMap -- Computes a matrix for left or right multiplication by a homogeneous element

Synopsis

Description

These methods return a matrix over the coefficient ring of the NCRing to which r belongs. The matrix represents left or right multiplication by r. Most commonly, the user will enter the ring element (required to be homogeneous) and a degree n. The result is the matrix of the map A_n -> A_n+d where d is the degree of r. The matrix is computed relative to the monomial basis obtain using basis(ZZ,NCRing).

Alternatively, the user can enter sets of independent monomials to serve as a basis for the domain and co-domain of the maps. The method left or right multiplies r by the fromBasis and converts to coordinates via sparseCoeffs and the toBasis.

If the element is not regular, you can use these methods to compute the annihilators in particular degrees.
