NC.HF

Enumerate the values of the Hilbert-Dehn function of a finitely generated K-algebra.
Syntax
          
NC.HF(G:LIST[, DB:INT]):LIST

          

Description
Let P be a finitely generated non-commutative polynomial ring over K, and let I be a finitely generated two-sided ideal in P. Then P/I is a finitely generated K-algebra. Moreover, for every integer i, we let F_{i} be the K-vector subspace generated by the words of length less than or equal to i. Clearly, the set {F_{i}} is a filtration of P. Further, the filtration {F_{i}} induces a filtration {F_{i}/(F_{i} intersects I)} of P/I. The Hilbert-Dehn function of K-algebra P/I is a map HF: N --> N defined by HF(i)=dim(F_{i}/(F_{i} intersects I))-dim(F_{i-1}/(F_{i-1} intersects I)), i.e. HF(i) is equal to the number of words of length i in a Macaulay's basis (see NC.MB) of P/I.

Please note: The function(s) explained on this page is/are using the ApCoCoAServer. You will have to start the ApCoCoAServer in order to use it/them.

Please set non-commutative polynomial ring (via the command Use) and word ordering (via the function NC.SetOrdering) before calling this function. The default word ordering is the length-lexicographic ordering ("LLEX"). For more information, please check the relevant commands and functions. Optional parameter:

Example
Use ZZ/(2)[t,x,y];
NC.SetOrdering("LLEX"); 
F1 := [[x^2], [y,x]]; -- x^2+yx
F2 := [[x,y], [t,y]]; -- xy+ty
F3 := [[x,t], [t,x]]; -- xt+tx
F4 := [[y,t], [t,y]]; -- yt+ty
G := [F1, F2,F3,F4]; 
Gb:=NC.GB(G);
NC.HF(Gb,5);
