7.5.20.0. findimAlgebra

Usage:

findimAlgebra(M,[r]); M a matrix, r an optional ring

Return:

ring

Purpose:

define a finite dimensional algebra structure on a ring

Note:

the matrix M is used to define the relations x(i)*x(j) = M[i,j] in the basering (by default) or in the optional ring r.
The procedure equips the ring with the noncommutative structure.
The procedure exports the ideal (not a two-sided Groebner basis!), called fdQuot, for further qring definition.

Theory:

finite dimensional algebra can be represented as a factor algebra of a G-algebra modulo certain two-sided ideal. The relations of a f.d. algebra are thus naturally divided into two groups: firstly, the relations on the variables of the ring, making it into G-algebra and the rest of them, which constitute the ideal which will be factored out.

==> //        block   2 : ordering C
==> // noncommutative relations:
==> //    x(3)x(2)=(-b)/(a)*x(2)*x(3)
==> // quotient ring from ideal
==> _[1]=x(3)^2
==> _[2]=x(2)*x(3)+(-a)*x(1)
==> _[3]=x(1)*x(3)
==> _[4]=x(2)^2
==> _[5]=x(1)*x(2)
==> _[6]=x(1)^2
