C-Name: rnfdedekind
Prototype: GGDGD0,L,
Help: rnfdedekind(nf,pol,{pr},{flag=0}): relative Dedekind criterion over the
number field K, represented by nf, applied to the order O_K[X]/(P),
modulo the prime ideal pr (at all primes if pr omitted, in which case
flag is automatically set to 1).
P is assumed to be monic, irreducible, in O_K[X].
Returns [max,basis,v], where basis is a pseudo-basis of the
enlarged order, max is 1 iff this order is pr-maximal, and v is the
valuation at pr of the order discriminant. If flag is set, just return 1 if
the order is maximal, and 0 if not.
Doc: given a number field $K$ coded by $\var{nf}$ and a monic
polynomial $P\in \Z_K[X]$, irreducible over $K$ and thus defining a relative
extension $L$ of $K$, applies \idx{Dedekind}'s criterion to the order
$\Z_K[X]/(P)$, at the prime ideal \var{pr}. It is possible to set \var{pr}
to a vector of prime ideals (test maximality at all primes in the vector),
or to omit altogether, in which case maximality at \emph{all} primes is tested;
in this situation \fl\ is automatically set to $1$.
The default historic behavior (\fl\ is 0 or omitted and \var{pr} is a
single prime ideal) is not so useful since
\kbd{rnfpseudobasis} gives more information and is generally not that
much slower. It returns a 3-component vector $[\var{max}, \var{basis}, v]$:
\item \var{basis} is a pseudo-basis of an enlarged order $O$ produced by
Dedekind's criterion, containing the original order $\Z_K[X]/(P)$
with index a power of \var{pr}. Possibly equal to the original order.
\item \var{max} is a flag equal to 1 if the enlarged order $O$
could be proven to be \var{pr}-maximal and to 0 otherwise; it may still be
maximal in the latter case if \var{pr} is ramified in $L$,
\item $v$ is the valuation at \var{pr} of the order discriminant.
If \fl\ is non-zero, on the other hand, we just return $1$ if the order
$\Z_K[X]/(P)$ is \var{pr}-maximal (resp.~maximal at all relevant primes, as
described above), and $0$ if not. This is much faster than the default,
since the enlarged order is not computed.
\bprog
? nf = nfinit(y^2-3); P = x^3 - 2*y;
? pr3 = idealprimedec(nf,3)[1];
? rnfdedekind(nf, P, pr3)
%3 = [1, [[1, 0, 0; 0, 1, 0; 0, 0, 1], [1, 1, 1]], 8]
? rnfdedekind(nf, P, pr3, 1)
%4 = 1
@eprog\noindent In this example, \kbd{pr3} is the ramified ideal above $3$,
and the order generated by the cube roots of $y$ is already
\kbd{pr3}-maximal. The order-discriminant has valuation $8$. On the other
hand, the order is not maximal at the prime above 2:
\bprog
? pr2 = idealprimedec(nf,2)[1];
? rnfdedekind(nf, P, pr2, 1)
%6 = 0
? rnfdedekind(nf, P, pr2)
%7 = [0, [[2, 0, 0; 0, 1, 0; 0, 0, 1], [[1, 0; 0, 1], [1, 0; 0, 1],
[1, 1/2; 0, 1/2]]], 2]
@eprog
The enlarged order is not proven to be \kbd{pr2}-maximal yet. In fact, it
is; it is in fact the maximal order:
\bprog
? B = rnfpseudobasis(nf, P)
%8 = [[1, 0, 0; 0, 1, 0; 0, 0, 1], [1, 1, [1, 1/2; 0, 1/2]],
[162, 0; 0, 162], -1]
? idealval(nf,B[3], pr2)
%9 = 2
@eprog\noindent
It is possible to use this routine with non-monic
$P = \sum_{i\leq n} a_i X^i \in \Z_K[X]$ if $\fl = 1$;
in this case, we test maximality of Dedekind's order generated by
$$1, a_n \alpha, a_n\alpha^2 + a_{n-1}\alpha, \dots,
a_n\alpha^{n-1} + a_{n-1}\alpha^{n-2} + \cdots + a_1\alpha.$$
The routine will fail if $P$ is $0$ on the projective line over the residue
field $\Z_K/\kbd{pr}$ (FIXME).
