class HomMarkedAbelianGroup
 

Detailed Description

Represents a finitely generated abelian group given by a chain complex.

This class is initialized with a chain complex. The chain complex is given in terms of two integer matrices M and N such that M×N=0. These matrices should be thought of as acting on column vectors: this means for example that the product B×A applies the linear transformation A, then the linear transformation B. This is consistent with the convention that Regina uses for for multiplying permutations.

The abelian group that this class computes is the kernel of M modulo the image of N. In other words, we compute the homology of the chain complex Z^a --N--> Z^b --M--> Z^c, where a = N.columns(), b = M.columns() = N.rows(), and c = M.rows(). An additional constructor allows you to take the homology with coefficients in an arbitrary cyclic group.

Like the simpler class AbelianGroup, this group will be isomorphic to some Z_{d0} + ... + Z_{dk} + Z^r, where:

This class allows you to retrieve the invariant factors, the rank, and the corresponding vectors in the kernel of M. Moreover, given a vector in the kernel of M, it decribes the homology class of the vector (the free part, and its position in the invariant factors).

The purpose of this class is to not just represent homology groups, but also to support coordinates on the group allowing for the construction of homomorphisms, and keeping track of subgroups.

This routine makes frequent use of two coordinate systems:

Be aware that the choice of torsion and free generators is typically not unique, and this will affect the results of many member functions of this class. These choices are subject to change between different versions of Regina; in particular, they depend upon the particular algorithm used for computing Smith normal forms.

Some routines in this class refer to the internal presentation matrix. This is a proper presentation matrix for the abelian group; if you are looking at the implementation details, this refers to the matrix pres, created by taking the product MRi_ * N and then removing the first rankM_ rows.

This class implements C++ move semantics and adheres to the C++ Swappable requirement. It is designed to avoid deep copies wherever possible, even when passing or returning objects by value.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ MarkedAbelianGroup() [1/5]

regina::MarkedAbelianGroup::MarkedAbelianGroup ( MatrixInt  M,
MatrixInt  N 
)

Creates a marked abelian group from a chain complex.

This constructor assumes you are interested in homology with integer coefficents.

The abelian group is the kernel of M modulo the image of N. See the class notes for further details.

Precondition
M.columns() = N.rows(). This condition will be tested, and an exception will be thrown if it does not hold.
The product M×N = 0. This condition will not be tested (for efficiency reasons); this is left to the user/programmer to ensure.
Exceptions
InvalidArgumentThe number of columns in M does not match the number of rows in N.
Parameters
Mthe ‘right’ matrix in the chain complex; that is, the matrix that one takes the kernel of when computing homology.
Nthe ‘left’ matrix in the chain complex; that is, the matrix that one takes the image of when computing homology.

◆ MarkedAbelianGroup() [2/5]

regina::MarkedAbelianGroup::MarkedAbelianGroup ( MatrixInt  M,
MatrixInt  N,
Integer  pcoeff 
)

Creates a marked abelian group from a chain complex with coefficients in Z_p.

The abelian group is the kernel of M modulo the image of N. See the class notes for further details.

Precondition
M.columns() = N.rows(). This condition will be tested, and an exception will be thrown if it does not hold.
The product M×N = 0. This condition will not be tested (for efficiency reasons); this is left to the user/programmer to ensure.
Exceptions
InvalidArgumentThe number of columns in M does not match the number of rows in N.
Parameters
Mthe ‘right’ matrix in the chain complex; that is, the matrix that one takes the kernel of when computing homology.
Nthe ‘left’ matrix in the chain complex; that is, the matrix that one takes the image of when computing homology.
pcoeffspecifies the coefficient ring, Z_pcoeff. This must be non-negative; a value of 0 indicates that you are using integer coefficients (in which case it is more efficient to use the constructor that just takes two matrices).

◆ MarkedAbelianGroup() [3/5]

regina::MarkedAbelianGroup::MarkedAbelianGroup ( size_t  rank,
const Integer p 
)

Creates a free Z_p-module of a given rank using the direct sum of the standard chain complex 0 --> Z --p--> Z --> 0.

This group is isomorphic to n Z_p. Moreover, if constructed using the matrices-with-coefficients constructor, M would be zero and N would be diagonal and square with p down the diagonal.

Parameters
rankthe rank of the group as a Z_p-module. That is, if the group is n Z_p, then rank should be n.
pdescribes the type of ring that we use to talk about the "free" module.

◆ MarkedAbelianGroup() [4/5]

regina::MarkedAbelianGroup::MarkedAbelianGroup ( const MarkedAbelianGroup )
default

Creates a clone of the given group.

◆ MarkedAbelianGroup() [5/5]

regina::MarkedAbelianGroup::MarkedAbelianGroup ( MarkedAbelianGroup &&  )
defaultnoexcept

Moves the contents of the given group to this new group.

This is a fast (constant time) operation.

The group that was passed will no longer be usable.

Member Function Documentation

◆ asBoundary()

Vector< Integer > regina::MarkedAbelianGroup::asBoundary ( const Vector< Integer > &  bdry) const

Expresses the given vector as a boundary in the chain complex.

Warning
If you are using mod p coefficients and if your element projects to a non-trivial element of TOR, then N×v != bdry as elements of TOR are not in the image of N. In this case, (bdry - N×v) represents the projection to TOR.
The return value is not unique. The specific choice of vector may change between different versions of Regina.
Exceptions
InvalidArgumentThe given vector is not a boundary.
Parameters
bdrya boundary vector, given in chain complex coordinates.
Returns
a vector v such that N×v=bdry.

◆ boundaryOf()

Vector< Integer > regina::MarkedAbelianGroup::boundaryOf ( const Vector< Integer > &  chain) const

Computes the differential of the given vector in the chain complex whose kernel is the cycles.

In other words, this routine returns M×chain, where M is the "right" matrix passed to the class constructor.

Exceptions
InvalidArgumentThe given vector is not in chain complex coordinates; that is, its length is not M.columns().
Parameters
chainany vector in chain complex coordinates.
Returns
the differential, expressed as a vector of length M.rows().

◆ ccRank()

size_t regina::MarkedAbelianGroup::ccRank ( ) const
inline

Returns the rank of the chain complex supporting the homology computation.

This is the dimension of a vector in chain complex coordinates. In the class notes, this is given by M.columns() and N.rows(), where M and N are the matrices used to define the chain complex.

Returns
the rank of the chain complex.

◆ ccRep() [1/2]

Vector< Integer > regina::MarkedAbelianGroup::ccRep ( const Vector< Integer > &  snf) const

A combination of freeRep and torsionRep, this routine takes a group element expressed in SNF coordinates and returns a corresponding vector in the original chain complex.

This routine is, in some sense, an inverse to snfRep().

Warning
The return value is not unique. The specific choice of vector may change between different versions of Regina.
Exceptions
InvalidArgumentThe size of the given vector was not precisely snfRank().
Parameters
snfany vector in SNF coordinates.
Returns
a corresponding vector in chain complex coordinates.

◆ ccRep() [2/2]

Vector< Integer > regina::MarkedAbelianGroup::ccRep ( size_t  snfGen) const

A combination of freeRep() and torsionRep() that expresses a group element as a vector in the original chain complex.

This is similar to the variant of ccRep() that takes a vector as input, but it assumes that your input is a standard basis vector from SNF coordinates. Calling ccRep(snfGen) is equivalent to passing the (snfGen)th unit vector to ccRep().

Warning
The return value is not unique. The specific choice of vector may change between different versions of Regina.
Exceptions
InvalidArgumentThe given index was greater than or equal to the number of generators in SNF coordinates (i.e., greater than or equal to snfRank()).

Returns
the coefficients used in the homology calculation.

◆ countInvariantFactors()

inline

Returns the "right" matrix that was used to define the chain complex.

◆ operator!=()

bool regina::MarkedAbelianGroup::operator!= ( const MarkedAbelianGroup other) const
inline

Determines whether this and the given group were formed from different chain complex constructions.

Parameters
otherthe group with which this should be compared.
Returns
true if and only if the this and the given group do not have identical chain complex definitions.

◆ operator=() [1/2]

The group that was passed will no longer be usable.

Returns
a reference to this group.

◆ operator==()

bool regina::MarkedAbelianGroup::operator== ( const MarkedAbelianGroup other) const
inline

Determines whether this and the given group were formed from identical chain complex constructions.

This is not an isomorphism test. For this comparison to return true, both groups must have been constructed from identical matrices M and N, using homology with the same coefficients.

Parameters
otherthe group with which this should be compared.
Returns
true if and only if the this and the given group have identical chain complex definitions.

◆ rank()

size_t regina::MarkedAbelianGroup::rank ( ) const
inline

Returns the rank of the group.

This is the number of included copies of Z.

Equivalently, the rank is the maximum number of linearly independent elements, and it indicates the size of the largest free abelian subgroup. The rank effectively ignores all torsion elements.

Returns
the rank of the group.

◆ snfRank()

size_t regina::MarkedAbelianGroup::snfRank ( ) const
inline

Returns the minimum number of generators for this group.

This is the dimension of a vector in SNF coordinates. It will always be equal to rank() + countInvariantFactors().

Returns
the minimum number of generators.

◆ snfRep()

Vector< Integer > regina::MarkedAbelianGroup::snfRep ( const Vector< Integer > &  cycle) const

Expresses the given cycle as a combination of free and torsion generators.

This routine takes a single argument cycle, which should be a cycle in chain complex coordinates. This routine then returns this cycle as a group element, expressed in SNF coordinates. See the class notes for a full explanation of what these concepts mean.

In the vector that is returned, the coordinates that hold coefficients for the torsion generators will be non-negative integers modulo the corresponding invariant factors d1, ..., dk.

Specifically, using the notation from the class notes, suppose cycle belongs to ker(M) and snfRep(cycle) returns the vector (b1, ..., bk, a1, ..., ar). Suppose furthermore that the free generators returned by freeRep(0..(r-1)) are f1, ..., fr respectively, and that the torsion generators returned by torsionRep(0..(k-1)) are t1, ..., tk respectively. Then cycle = b1.t1 + ... + bk.tk + a1.f1 + ... + ar.fr modulo img(N).

Warning
The return value is not unique. The specific choice of vector may change between different versions of Regina.
Exceptions
InvalidArgumentThe given vector was the wrong size, or is not a cycle (i.e., not in the kernel of M).
Parameters
cyclea cycle, presented in chain complex coordinates.
Returns
the group element corresponding to cycle, expressed in SNF coordinates.

◆ str()

std::string regina::Output< MarkedAbelianGroup , supportsUtf8 >::str ( ) const
inherited

Returns a short text representation of this object.

This text should be human-readable, should use plain ASCII characters where possible, and should not contain any newlines.

Within these limits, this short text ouptut should be as information-rich as possible, since in most cases this forms the basis for the Python __str__() and __repr__() functions.

Python
The Python "stringification" function __str__() will use precisely this function, and for most classes the Python __repr__() function will incorporate this into its output.
Returns
a short text representation of this object.

◆ swap()

void regina::MarkedAbelianGroup::swap ( MarkedAbelianGroup other)
noexcept

Swaps the contents of this and the given group.

Parameters
otherthe group whose contents should be swapped with this.

◆ torsionInclusion()

Returns
the inclusion map for the torsion subgroup.

◆ torsionRank() [1/2]

Precondition
The given degree is at least 2.
Parameters
degreethe degree of the torsion term to query.
Returns
the rank in the group of the given torsion term.

◆ torsionRank() [2/2]

size_t regina::MarkedAbelianGroup::torsionRank ( unsigned long  degree) const
inline

Returns the rank in the group of the torsion term of given degree.

If the given degree is d, this routine will return the largest m for which mZ_d is a subgroup of this group.

For instance, if this group is Z_6+Z_12, the torsion term of degree 2 has rank 2 (one occurrence in Z_6 and one in Z_12), and the torsion term of degree 4 has rank 1 (one occurrence in Z_12).

Precondition
The given degree is at least 2.
Parameters
degreethe degree of the torsion term to query.
Returns
the rank in the group of the given torsion term.

◆ torsionRep()

Vector< Integer > regina::MarkedAbelianGroup::torsionRep ( size_t  index) const

Returns the requested generator of the torsion subgroup, represented in the original chain complex defining the group.

The generator will be presented in chain complex coordinates.

Warning
The return value is not unique. The specific choice of vector may change between different versions of Regina.

the abelian group.

◆ utf8()

std::string regina::Output< MarkedAbelianGroup , supportsUtf8 >::utf8 ( ) const
inherited

Returns a short text representation of this object using unicode characters.

Like str(), this text should be human-readable, should not contain any newlines, and (within these constraints) should be as information-rich as is reasonable.

Unlike str(), this function may use unicode characters to make the output more pleasant to read. The string that is returned will be encoded in UTF-8.

Returns
a short text representation of this object.

◆ writeTextLong()

void regina::ShortOutput< MarkedAbelianGroup , supportsUtf8 >::writeTextLong ( std::ostream &  out) const
inlineinherited
