oreIdeal -- Creates the defining ideal of an Ore extension of a noncommutative ring

Synopsis

Description

Given a ring A, an Ore extension of A by x is the quotient of the free extension A<x> by the relations x*a - sigma(a)*x-delta(a) where sigma is an automorphism of A and delta is a sigma-derivation. This method returns the defining ideal (in the appropriate tensor algebra) of an Ore extension of A by x. The current version assumes the sigma-derivation delta is 0.
