Singular

Hi everyone, I am having a little trouble with the one set of commands I use Singular for, and I would love to see if there is a way to 'fix' it.

My problem is that I use Singular to calculate minimal resolutions of ideals of a specific form (or rather, the module R/I, where I is my ideal). The ideals I am using are generated by 3 binomial terms and 3 monomial terms. It is very important for my research that I know exactly how each generator is interacting, but Singular keeps feeling the need to change one of my monomial generators to an ideal-equivalent version. I can work around this, but it slows me down substantially to figure out all the conversions and then rewrite the resolution.

So my question is can I make Singular stick with only the generators I plug in? I included a piece of an example below.


ideal I=x4y4-z7,x4z3-y7,y3z4-x8,xy2z6,x3y4z5,x8y3z3;
rs=minres(rs);
print(rs[1]);
y7-x4z3,
x4y4-z7,
x8-y3z4,
xy2z6,
x3y4z5,
y6z7

It changes the monomial x8y3z3 into y6z7 which doesn't change anything ring-theoretically, but it makes my attempts at finding what I'm looking for quite difficult, so I would love to make it keep that 6th generator unchanged.

For the record, I am quite Singular-illiterate, but I am not so Ludditic that I won't use technology when it can compete things like resolutions easily for me!

Thanks in advance!

Using nres and not minres may help:

rs is a free resolution, which is minimized from
the second module on.

Perfection! That is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
