7.7.15.0. findimAlgebra
Procedure from library nctools.lib (see nctools_lib).

Usage:
findimAlgebra(M,[r]); M a matrix, r an optional ring

Return:
ring

Purpose:
define a finite dimensional algebra structure on a ring

Note:
the matrix M is used to define the relations x(i)*x(j) = M[i,j] in the basering (by default) or in the optional ring r.
The procedure equips the ring with the noncommutative structure.
The procedure exports the ideal (not a two-sided Groebner basis!), called fdQuot, for further qring definition.

Theory:
finite dimensional algebra can be represented as a factor algebra of a G-algebra modulo certain two-sided ideal. The relations of a f.d. algebra are thus naturally divided into two groups: firstly, the relations on the variables of the ring, making it into G-algebra and the rest of them, which constitute the ideal which will be factored out.

Example:
 
LIB "nctools.lib";
ring r=(0,a,b),(x(1..3)),dp;
matrix S[3][3];
S[2,3]=a*x(1); S[3,2]=-b*x(1);
def A=findimAlgebra(S); setring A;
fdQuot = twostd(fdQuot);
qring Qr = fdQuot;
Qr;
==> //   characteristic : 0
==> //   2 parameter    : a b 
==> //   minpoly        : 0
==> //   number of vars : 3
==> //        block   1 : ordering dp
==> //                  : names    x(1) x(2) x(3)
==> //        block   2 : ordering C
==> //   noncommutative relations:
==> //    x(3)x(2)=(-b)/(a)*x(2)*x(3)
==> // quotient ring from ideal
==> _[1]=x(3)^2
==> _[2]=x(2)*x(3)+(-a)*x(1)
==> _[3]=x(1)*x(3)
==> _[4]=x(2)^2
==> _[5]=x(1)*x(2)
==> _[6]=x(1)^2
