Homomorphisms of abelian groups#

Todo

  • there must be a homspace first

  • there should be hom and Hom methods in abelian group

class sage.groups.abelian_gps.abelian_group_morphism.AbelianGroupMap(parent)#

Bases: sage.categories.morphism.Morphism

A set-theoretic map between AbelianGroups.

class sage.groups.abelian_gps.abelian_group_morphism.AbelianGroupMorphism(G, H, genss, imgss)#

Bases: sage.categories.morphism.Morphism

Some python code for wrapping GAP’s GroupHomomorphismByImages function for abelian groups. Returns “fail” if gens does not generate self or if the map does not extend to a group homomorphism, self - other.

EXAMPLES:

sage: G = AbelianGroup(3,[2,3,4],names="abc"); G
Multiplicative Abelian group isomorphic to C2 x C3 x C4
sage: a,b,c = G.gens()
sage: H = AbelianGroup(2,[2,3],names="xy"); H
Multiplicative Abelian group isomorphic to C2 x C3
sage: x,y = H.gens()

sage: from sage.groups.abelian_gps.abelian_group_morphism import AbelianGroupMorphism
sage: phi = AbelianGroupMorphism(H,G,[x,y],[a,b])

image(S)#

Return the image of the subgroup S by the morphism.

This only works for finite groups.

INPUT:

  • S – a subgroup of the domain group G

EXAMPLES:

sage: G = AbelianGroup(2,[2,3],names="xy")
sage: x,y = G.gens()
sage: subG = G.subgroup([x])
sage: H = AbelianGroup(3,[2,3,4],names="abc")
sage: a,b,c = H.gens()
sage: phi = AbelianGroupMorphism(G,H,[x,y],[a,b])
sage: phi.image(subG)
Multiplicative Abelian subgroup isomorphic to C2 generated by {a}
kernel()#

Only works for finite groups.

Todo

not done yet; returns a gap object but should return a Sage group.

EXAMPLES:

sage: H = AbelianGroup(3,[2,3,4],names="abc"); H
Multiplicative Abelian group isomorphic to C2 x C3 x C4
sage: a,b,c = H.gens()
sage: G = AbelianGroup(2,[2,3],names="xy"); G
Multiplicative Abelian group isomorphic to C2 x C3
sage: x,y = G.gens()
sage: phi = AbelianGroupMorphism(G,H,[x,y],[a,b])
sage: phi.kernel()
Group([  ])

sage: H = AbelianGroup(3,[2,2,2],names="abc")
sage: a,b,c = H.gens()
sage: G = AbelianGroup(2,[2,2],names="x")
sage: x,y = G.gens()
sage: phi = AbelianGroupMorphism(G,H,[x,y],[a,a])
sage: phi.kernel()
Group([ f1*f2 ])
