Dear GAP forum,
I would like to know if there is a way to have evaluate the primitive
element of a numberfield
i.e.
x := Indeterminate(Rationals);
g := x ^2 - 2;
F := FieldByPolynomial(g);
a := PrimitiveElement(F);
Is it a way to determine which conjugate a. Can I have an approximate
real value of a;
Of course a can simple ask
a>0;
and wait for true or false,
but when I have 10-20 real and complex conjugates should I find a
constructive way to understand which is my primitive element or there
is something much easier that I am missing.
Thanks everybody in advance
