Rings
This module provides the abstract base class Ring from which all rings in Sage (used to) derive, as well as a selection of more specific base classes.
Warning
Those classes, except maybe for the lowest ones like Ring, CommutativeRing, Algebra and CommutativeAlgebra, are being progressively deprecated in favor of the corresponding categories. which are more flexible, in particular with respect to multiple inheritance.
The class inheritance hierarchy is:
Subclasses of PrincipalIdealDomain are
Some aspects of this structure may seem strange, but this is an unfortunate consequence of the fact that Cython classes do not support multiple inheritance. Hence, for instance, Field cannot be a subclass of both NoetherianRing and PrincipalIdealDomain, although all fields are Noetherian PIDs.
(A distinct but equally awkward issue is that sometimes we may not know in advance whether or not a ring belongs in one of these classes; e.g. some orders in number fields are Dedekind domains, but others are not, and we still want to offer a unified interface, so orders are never instances of the DedekindDomain class.)

Bases: sage.rings.ring.Ring
Generic algebra
Return the characteristic of this algebra, which is the same as the characteristic of its base ring.
See objects with the base_ring attribute for additional examples. Here are some examples that explicitly use the Algebra class.
EXAMPLES:
sage: A = Algebra(ZZ); A
<type 'sage.rings.ring.Algebra'>
sage: A.characteristic()
0
sage: A = Algebra(GF(7^3, 'a'))
sage: A.characteristic()
7
Return True if the algebra has a standard involution and False otherwise.
This algorithm follows Algorithm 2.10 from John Voight’s .
Currently the only type of algebra this will work for is a quaternion algebra.
Though this function seems redundant, once algebras have more functionality, in particular
have a method to construct a basis, this algorithm will have more general purpose.
EXAMPLES:
sage: B = QuaternionAlgebra(2)
sage: B.has_standard_involution()
True
sage: R.<x> = PolynomialRing(QQ)
sage: K.<u> = NumberField(x**2 - 2)
sage: A = QuaternionAlgebra(K,-2,5)
sage: A.has_standard_involution()
True
sage: L.<a,b> = FreeAlgebra(QQ,2)
sage: L.has_standard_involution()
Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: Basis is not yet implemented for this algebra.
Bases: sage.rings.ring.CommutativeRing

Return True since this algebra is commutative.
EXAMPLES:
Any commutative ring is a commutative algebra over itself:
sage: A = sage.rings.ring.CommutativeAlgebra

Trying to create a commutative algebra over a non-commutative ring will result in a TypeError.
Bases: sage.rings.ring.Ring
Generic commutative ring.
Algebraically extends self by taking the quotient self[x] / (f(x)).
INPUT:
Note
Using this method on an algebraically complete field does not return this field; the construction self[x] / (f(x)) is done anyway.
EXAMPLES:
sage: R = QQ['x']
sage: y = polygen(R)
sage: R.extension(y^2 - 5, 'a')
Univariate Quotient Polynomial Ring in a over Univariate Polynomial Ring in x over Rational Field with modulus a^2 - 5

The Krull dimension is the length of the longest ascending chain of prime ideals.

Bases: sage.rings.ring.CommutativeRing
Generic Noetherian ring class.
A Noetherian ring is a commutative ring in which every ideal is finitely generated.
This class is deprecated, and not actually used anywhere in the Sage code base. If you think you need it, please create a category NoetherianRings, move the code of this class there, and use it instead.
Return True since this ring is Noetherian.
EXAMPLES:
sage: ZZ.is_noetherian()

True
sage: R.<x> = PolynomialRing(QQ)
sage: R.is_noetherian()
True
Bases: sage.rings.ring.IntegralDomain

Return the content of and
, i.e. the unique element

sage: factor(a); factor(b); factor(QQ.content(a,b))
2 * 3 * 7^-1 * 11^-1
13 * 17 * 19^-1 * 23^-1
7^-1 * 11^-1 * 19^-1 * 23^-1
Note the changes to the second entry:

7^-3 * 11^-1 * 19^-1 * 23^-1
Return the greatest common divisor of x and y, as elements of self.
EXAMPLES:
The integers are a principal ideal domain and hence a GCD domain:

sage: 42.factor(); 48.factor()
2 * 3 * 7
2^4 * 3
sage: ZZ.gcd(2^4*7^2*11, 2^3*11*13)
88
sage: 88.factor()
2^3 * 11
In a field, any nonzero element is a GCD of any nonempty set of nonzero elements. In previous versions, Sage used to return 1 in the case of the rational field. However, since trac ticket #10771, the rational field is considered as the fraction field of the integer ring. For the fraction field of an integral domain that provides both GCD and LCM, it is possible to pick a GCD that is compatible with the GCD of the base ring:
sage: QQ.gcd(ZZ(42), ZZ(48)); type(QQ.gcd(ZZ(42), ZZ(48)))
6
<type 'sage.rings.rational.Rational'>
sage: QQ.gcd(1/2, 1/3)
1/6
Polynomial rings over fields are GCD domains as well. Here is a simple example over the ring of polynomials over the rationals as well as over an extension ring. Note that gcd requires x and y to be coercible:
sage: R.<x> = PolynomialRing(QQ)
sage: S.<a> = NumberField(x^2 - 2, 'a')
sage: f = (x - a)*(x + a); g = (x - a)*(x^2 - 2)
sage: print f; print g
x^2 - 2
x^3 - a*x^2 - 2*x + 2*a
sage: f in R
True
sage: g in R
False
sage: R.gcd(f,g)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
TypeError: Unable to coerce 2*a to a rational
sage: R.base_extend(S).gcd(f,g)
x^2 - 2
sage: R.base_extend(S).gcd(f, (x - a)*(x^2 - 3))
x - a
Every principal ideal domain is noetherian, so we return True.
EXAMPLES:
sage: Zp(5).is_noetherian()
True
Bases: sage.structure.parent_gens.ParentWithGens
Generic ring class.

Return the category to which this ring belongs.
Note
This method exists because sometimes a ring is its own base ring.
During initialisation of a ring , it may be checked whether the
base ring (hence, the ring itself) is a ring. Hence, it is
necessary that R.category() tells that R is a ring, even
before its category is properly initialised.
EXAMPLES:
sage: FreeAlgebra(QQ, 3, 'x').category() # todo: use a ring which is not an algebra!
Category of algebras over Rational Field
Since a quotient of the integers is its own base ring, and during initialisation of a ring it is tested whether the base ring belongs to the category of rings, the following is an indirect test that the category() method of rings returns the category of rings even before the initialisation was successful:
sage: I = Integers(15)
sage: I.base_ring() is I
True

The following example returns a NotImplementedError since the generic ring class __call__ function returns a NotImplementedError. Note that sage.rings.ring.Ring.random_element performs a call in the generic ring class by a random integer:
sage: R = sage.rings.ring.Ring(ZZ); R
<type 'sage.rings.ring.Ring'>
sage: R.random_element()
Traceback (most recent call last):

Used to find a name for a generator when rings are created using the
__getitem__ syntax, e.g. ZZ['x']. If x is a symbolic variable,
return the name of x; if x is the symbolic square root of a
positive integer , return “sqrtd”; else, return a letter of the
alphabet and increment a counter to avoid that letter being used again.
EXAMPLES:
sage: from sage.rings.ring import gen_name
sage: gen_name(sqrt(5), 1)
('sqrt5', 1)
sage: gen_name(sqrt(-17), 88)
('X', 89)
sage: gen_name(x, 1)
('x', 1)
Deprecated test of an object being a field.
NOTE:
For testing whether R is a field, use R in Fields(), not is_Field(R). See trac ticket #13370.
