Subextension over non-prime subfield as a quotient
Hi!
I am looking for a light and easy way to build the following objects:
- a finite (possibly non prime) field
Fq
; - an irreducible polynomial
p
inFq[X]
; - and a finite extension
L
ofFq
which containsL0 = Fq[X]/p
as a subfield.
Crucially, I want to be able to manipulate the generator z = L0(X)
(i.e. the
image of X
in L0
) as an element of L
. I also need to view these extensions
as extension over Fq
(e.g. using .over(Fq)
) and not the prime subfield
(in particular, I do not want to see L
as an extension of L0
).
Let me know if this is not clear and you need more explanations.
For this, I can define my extensions as follows:
sage: Fq = GF(7^2)
sage: FqX.<X> = Fq[]
sage: p = FqX.irreducible_element(3)
sage: L0 = Fq.extension(modulus=p).over(Fq); L0
Univariate Quotient Polynomial Ring in X over Finite Field in z2 of size 7^2 with modulus X^3 + z2*X + z2 + 3 over its base
sage: L = Fq.extension(modulus=FqX.irreducible_element(6)).over(Fq); L
Univariate Quotient Polynomial Ring in X over Finite Field in z2 of size 7^2 with modulus X^6 + (6*z2 + 4)*X + 4*z2 + 6 over its base
Now I can define z = L0(X)
:
sage: z = L0(X)
sage: assert z == L0.gen()
sage:
But I can't manage to see z
as an element of L
. In the following snippet,
it seems that casting z
as an element of L
converts it to a generator of
L
:
sage: zL = L(z)
sage: zL == L.gen()
True
I tried other ways to create the extensions. Sometimes coercion is a problem. Sometimes some methods are available on a method but not the other. Does anybody has any idea?
Welcome to Ask Sage! Thank you for your question.
You can map
z
inL0
to one ofz.minpoly().change_ring(L).roots(multiplicities=False)
inL
. Unfortunately defining a homomorphism viaL0.hom
seems to be broken for a relative extensionL0
.
