2.2.3 map operations

( )
composition of maps. If, for example, f and g are maps, then f(g) is a map expression giving the composition of f and g.

map_expression [ int_expressions ]
is a map entry (the image of the corresponding variable)


Example:
 
 LIB "ncalg.lib";
def Usl2 = sl2();
setring Usl2;
map F=Usl2,f,e,-h; // check the automorphism of U(sl_2)
map G=F(F);
poly p = (f+e*h)^2 + 3*h-e;
p;
==> e2h2+2e2h+2efh-2ef+f2-h2-e+3h
F(p);
==> f2h2-2efh-2f2h+e2-2ef+h2-f-h
G(p);
==> e2h2+2e2h+2efh-2ef+f2-h2-e+3h
(G(p) == p); // G is the identity
==> 1
