Groebner basis
hello
I'm trying to compute groebner basis for I=( x^2+y+z-1,x+y^2+z-1,x+y+z^2-1) in sage, but why the groebner basis of this ideal is same as ideal? thank you

The three polynomials used to describe the particular ideal in your example are a Groebner basis for it.
sage: R.<x,y,z> = PolynomialRing(QQ,3)
sage: I = Ideal([x^2+y+z-1,x+y^2+z-1,x+y+z^2-1])
sage: B = I.groebner_basis(); B
[x^2 + y + z - 1, y^2 + x + z - 1, z^2 + x + y - 1]
However, the ideal and its Groebner basis are not the same. Check their type and their parent.
sage: type(I)
<class 'sage.rings.polynomial.multi_polynomial_ideal.MPolynomialIdeal'>
sage: I.parent()
Monoid of ideals of Multivariate Polynomial Ring in x, y, z over Rational Field
sage: type(B)
<class 'sage.rings.polynomial.multi_polynomial_sequence.PolynomialSequence_generic'>
sage: B.parent()
Category of sequences in Multivariate Polynomial Ring in x, y, z over Rational Field
Also, if you check the documentation for groebner_basis, you
will find examples of families of polynomials who are not a
Groebner basis for the ideal they generate.
sage: I.groebner_basis?
Also note that the Groebner basis depends on the monomial ordering:
sage: R.<x,y,z> = PolynomialRing(QQ, 3, order='lex')
sage: I = Ideal([x^2+y+z-1,x+y^2+z-1,x+y+z^2-1])
sage: I.groebner_basis()
[x + y + z^2 - 1, y^2 - y - z^2 + z, y*z^2 + 1/2*z^4 - 1/2*z^2, z^6 - 4*z^4 + 4*z^3 - z^2]
vs.
sage: S.<x,y,z> = PolynomialRing(QQ, 3, order='deglex')
sage: J = Ideal([x^2+y+z-1,x+y^2+z-1,x+y+z^2-1])
sage: J.groebner_basis()
[x^2 + y + z - 1, y^2 + x + z - 1, z^2 + x + y - 1]
