Define morphism of Q[i,w] in terms of i and w

asked 3 years ago

JNS gravatar image

I want to construct the field K=Q[i,w] where w=42 and define a field homomorphism such as wiw, ii. I'd like to do

K.<w,I> = NumberField([x^4-2,x^2+1])
H = End(K)
H([I*w,-I])

but it doesn't work because K is considered to be the relative field (Q[i])[w]. I know I could work with the absolute field

K_abs.<theta> = K.absolute_field()

but I'd really like to define the morphism in terms of w,i. Is it possible?

When you construct the tower of extensions explicitly, you can do the following:

sage: K.<I> = NumberField(x^2+1)
sage: L.<w> = K.extension(x^4-2)
sage: f = L.hom([I*w], base_map=K.hom([-I])); f
Relative number field endomorphism of Number Field in w with defining polynomial x^4 - 2 over its base field
  Defn: w |--> I*w
        I |--> -I
sage: f(I + w)
I*w - I
