7.7.5.0. charVariety

Usage:

charVariety(I [,eng]); I an ideal, eng an optional int

Return:

ring (commutative) containing an ideal 'charVar'

Purpose:

computes an ideal whose zero set is the characteristic variety of I in
the sense of D-module theory

Assume:

The basering is the n-th Weyl algebra over a field of characteristic 0
and for all 1<=i<=n the identity var(i+n)*var(i)=var(i)*var(i+1)+1
holds, i.e. the sequence of variables is given by
x(1),...,x(n),D(1),...,D(n), where D(i) is the differential operator
belonging to x(i).

Note:

The output ring is commutative. It contains an ideal 'charVar'.
If eng<>0, std is used for Groebner basis computations,
otherwise, and by default, slimgb is used.

Display:

If printlevel=1, progress debug messages will be printed,
if printlevel>=2, all the debug messages will be printed.
