D.4.24.4 toricRingFromBinomials

Usage:

toricRingFromBinomials(ideal I);
toricRingFromBinomials(ideal I, intvec grading);

Return:

The ideal is generated by binomials of type (multiindex notation) in the surrounding polynomial ring . The binomials represent a congruence on the monoid with residue monoid . Let be the image of in gp()/torsion. Then is universal in the sense that every homomorphism from to an affine monoid factors through . If is a prime ideal, then . In general, where is the unique minimal prime ideal of generated by binomials of type .

The function computes and returns a newly created polynomial ring of the same Krull dimension, whose variables are , where is the rank of the matrix with rows . (In general there is no canonical choice for such an embedding.)

The function returns the input ideal I if an option blocking the computation of Hilbert bases has been activated.
However, in this case some numerical invariants are computed, and some other data may be contained in files that you can read into Singular (see showNuminvs, exportNuminvs).
