According to the description, the result says that over the ring ra, the polynomial x4-x2-1 should have four linear factors?
It actually says that over ra, at least one representative of the class of conjugated absolute factors is defined. Now a4-a2-1 has four roots which means, the class x+(-a) represents, has four members.

There it is said about the return value:
As Wienand said in the forum:http://www.singular.uni-kl.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1422
But does not lead the result of absolute_factors[4] to ambiguities ?
Consider the polynomial x4-x2-1, which is irreducible over Q and has Galois group D_4. This means that Q(a), a4-a2-1 is not the splitting field of x4-x2-1. A splitting field needs a further quadratic extension.
Now call absfactorize:
According to the description, the result says that over the ring ra, the polynomial x4-x2-1 should have four linear factors? This is not true; or should " (its degree is the number of conjugates in the class)." only refer to the splitting field? I did not read the whole article, so I don't know what they intend to say.
