7.3.16 nc_algebra

Syntax:

nc_algebra( matrix_expression C, matrix_expression D )
nc_algebra( number_expression n, matrix_expression D )
nc_algebra( matrix_expression C, poly_expression p )
nc_algebra( number_expression n, poly_expression p )
Type:
ring
Purpose:
Executed in the basering r, say, in k variables $ x_1, \ldots, x_k ,\;$nc_algebra creates and returns the non-commutative extension of r subject to relations $ \{ x_j x_i=c_{ij} \cdot x_i x_j + d_{ij}, 1 \leq i <j \leq k \}, $ where $c_{ij}$ and $d_{ij}$ must be put into two strictly upper triangular matrices C with entries $c_{ij}$ from the ground field of r and D with (commutative) polynomial entries $d_{ij}$ from r. See all the details in G-algebras.
If $\forall i<j$, $c_{ij} = n$,one can input the number n instead of matrix C.
If $\forall i<j$, $d_{ij} = p$,one can input the polynomial p instead of matrix D.

Note: The returned ring should be activated afterwards, using the command setring.

Note: The coefficients must be a field (see G-algebras).

Remark:
At present, PLURAL does not check the non-degeneracy conditions (see G-algebras) while setting an algebra.

Example:

// ------- first example: C, D are matrices --------
ring r1 = (0,Q),(x,y,z),Dp;

def S=nc_algebra(C,D);
// this algebra is a quantum deformation U'_q(so_3),
// where Q is a 6th root of unity
