D.4.18.3 normalC

Procedure from library normal.lib (see normal_lib).

Usage:
normalC(id [,choose]); id = radical ideal, choose = optional list of string.
Optional parameters in list choose (can be entered in any order):
Decomposition:
- "equidim" -> computes first an equidimensional decomposition, and then the normalization of each component (default).
- "prim" -> computes first the minimal associated primes, and then the normalization of each prime.
- "noDeco" -> no preliminary decomposition is done. If the ideal is not equidimensional radical, output might be wrong.
- "isPrim" -> assumes that the ideal is prime. If the assumption does not hold, output might be wrong.
- "noFac" -> factorization is avoided in the computation of the minimal associated primes;
Other:
- "withGens" -> the minimal associated primes P_i of id are computed and for each P_i, algebra generators of the integral closure of basering/P_i are computed as elements of its quotient field;
If choose is not given or empty, the default options are used.

Assume:
The ideal must be radical, for non-radical ideals the output may be wrong (id=radical(id); makes id radical). However, if option "prim" is set the minimal associated primes are computed first and hence normalC computes the normalization of the radical of id. "isPrim" should only be used if id is known to be irreducible.

Return:
a list, say nor, of size 2 (resp. 3 if option "withGens" is set).
* nor[1] is always a of r rings, where r is the number of associated primes with option "prim" (resp. >= no of equidimenensional components with option "equidim").
Each ring Ri=nor[1][i], i=1..r, contains two ideals with given names norid and normap such that
- Ri/norid is the normalization of the i-th component, i.e. the integral closure in its field of fractions as affine ring, i.e. Ri is given in the form K[X(1..p),T(1..q)], where K is the ground field; - normap gives the normalization map from basering/id to Ri/norid for each i (the j-th element of normap is mapped to the j-th variable of R).
- the direct sum of the rings Ri/norid is the normalization of basering/id;
** If option "withGens" is not set:
* nor[2] shows the delta invariants: nor[2] is a list of an intvec of size r, the delta invariants of the r components, and an integer, the delta invariant of basering/id. (-1 means infinite, 0 that basering/P_i resp. basering/input is normal, -2 means that delta resp. delta of one of the components is not computed (which may happen if "equidim" is given).
** If option "withGens" is set:
* nor[2] is a list of ideals Ii=nor[2][i], i=1..r, in the basering, generating the integral closure of basering/P_i in its quotient field as K-algebra (K the ground field):
If Ii is given by polynomials g_1,...,g_k, then c:=g_k is a non-zero divisor and the j-th variables of the ring Ri satisfies var(j)=g_j/c, j=1..k-1, as element in the quotient field of basering/P_i. The g_j/g_k+1 are K-algebra generators of the integral closure of basering/P_i.
* nor[3] shows the delta invariant as above.

Theory:
We use the Grauert-Remmert-de Jong algorithm [c.f. G.-M. Greuel, G. Pfister: A SINGULAR Introduction to Commutative Algebra, 2nd Edition. Springer Verlag (2007)].
The procedure computes the algebra structure and the delta invariant of the normalization of R/id:
The normalization is an affine algebra over the ground field K and nor[1] presents it as such: Ri = K[X(1..p),T(1..q)] and Ri/norid is the integral closure of R/P_i; if option "withGens" is set the X(j) and T(j) are expressed as quotients in the total ring of fractions. Note that the X(j) and T(j) generate the integral closure as K-algebra, but not necessarily as R-module (since relations of the form X(1)=T(1)*T(2) may have been eliminated). Geometrically the algebra structure is relevant since the variety of the ideal norid in Ri is the normalization of the variety of the ideal P_i in R.
The delta invariant of a reduced ring A is dim_K(normalization(A)/A). For A=K[x1,...,xn]/id we call this number also the delta invariant of id. nor[3] returns the delta invariants of the components P_i and of id.

Note:
To use the i-th ring type: def R=nor[1][i]; setring R;.
Increasing/decreasing printlevel displays more/less comments (default: printlevel=0).
Not implemented for local or mixed orderings or quotient rings. For local or mixed orderings use proc 'normal'.
If the input ideal id is weighted homogeneous a weighted ordering may be used (qhweight(id); computes weights).
