laurent -- Converts an exponent vector or a deformation into a Laurent monomial.

Synopsis

Description

Converts the exponent vector v into a Laurent monomial in the variables of R. The result lies in frac R. The number of variables of R has to match the length of v.

If given a FirstOrderDeformation it returns the corresponding laurent monomial.
