Direct Sums

AbstractAlgebra allows the construction of the external direct sum of any nonempty vector of finitely presented modules.

Note that external direct sums are considered equal iff they are the same object.

Generic direct sum type

AbstractAlgebra provides a generic direct sum type Generic.DirectSumModule{T} where T is the element type of the base ring. The implementation is in src/generic/DirectSum.jl

Elements of direct sum modules have type Generic.DirectSumModuleElem{T}.

Abstract types

Direct sum module types belong to the abstract type FPModule{T} and their elements to FPModuleElem{T}.

Constructors

direct_sum(m::Vector{<:FPModule{T}}) where T <: RingElement
direct_sum(vals::FPModule{T}...) where T <: RingElement

Examples

julia> F = free_module(ZZ, 5)

julia> m1 = F(BigInt[4, 7, 8, 2, 6])
(4, 7, 8, 2, 6)

julia> m2 = F(BigInt[9, 7, -2, 2, -4])
(9, 7, -2, 2, -4)

julia> S1, f1 = sub(F, [m1, m2])

Functionality for direct sums

In addition to the Module interface, AbstractAlgebra direct sums implement the following functionality.

Basic manipulation

summands(M::DirectSumModule{T}) where T <: RingElement

    (D::DirectSumModule{T}(::Vector{<:FPModuleElem{T}}) where T <: RingElement

Given a vector (or $1$-dim array) of module elements, where the $i$-th entry has to be an element of the $i$-summand of $D$, create the corresponding element in $D$.

Examples

julia> N = free_module(QQ, 1);

julia> M = free_module(QQ, 2);

julia> D, _ = direct_sum(M, N, M);

julia> D([gen(M, 1), gen(N, 1), gen(M, 2)])
(1//1, 0//1, 1//1, 0//1, 1//1)

Special Homomorphisms

Due to the special structure as direct sums, homomorphisms can be created by specifying homomorphisms for all summands. In case of the codmain being a direct sum as well, any homomorphism may be thought of as a matrix containing maps from the $i$-th source summand to the $j$-th target module:

ModuleHomomorphism(D::DirectSumModule{T}, S::DirectSumModule{T}, m::Matrix{Any}) where T <: RingElement

Given a matrix $m$ such that the $(i,j)$-th entry is either $0$ (Int(0)) or a ModuleHomomorphism from the $i$-th summand of $D$ to the $j$-th summand of $S$, construct the corresponding homomorphism.

ModuleHomomorphism(D::DirectSumModule{T}, S::FPModuleElem{T}, m::Vector{ModuleHomomorphism})

Given an array $a$ of ModuleHomomorphism such that $a_i$, the $i$-th entry of $a$ is a ModuleHomomorphism from the $i$-th summand of D into S, construct the direct sum of the components.

Given a matrix $m$ such that the $(i,j)$-th entry is either $0$ (Int(0)) or a ModuleHomomorphism from the $i$-th summand of $D$ to the $j$-th summand of $S$, construct the corresponding homomorphism.

Examples

julia> N = free_module(QQ, 2);

julia> D, _ = direct_sum(N, N);

julia> p = ModuleHomomorphism(N, N, [3,4] .* basis(N));

julia> q = ModuleHomomorphism(N, N, [5,7] .* basis(N));

julia> phi = ModuleHomomorphism(D, D, [p 0; 0 q])
