Nope. Not true for quadratic number fields (see #13213). > Surely there is a good reason for that behavior? I see at least two reasons: - it is not that easy to provide a efficient algorithm for comparisons - the comparisons depend on the embedding, which might be in RR, CC or an extension of Qp. I do not see how we can have a generic comparison scheme that would work in all cases... Vincent -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
