New description:
I think we would like the following code to work:
{{{
N.<a> = NumberField(x^3+2)
G = N.unit_group()
g = G.random_element()
G.subgroup([g])
}}}
But at the moment the last line produces a runtime error
{{{
RuntimeError: Gap produced error output
Error, Variable: 'u1' must have a value
}}}
This is currently reproducible on the single cell sage server and sage
cloud. It does not seem to depend on the number field in question.
As far as I can tell, subgroup() is unable to recognise the input as
elements of the group. I think the problem is that one cannot pass the
argument 'names' when creating the unit group. For example, the following
works:
{{{
H = AbelianGroup(5,[2],names=list("pqrst"))
H.subgroup([H.random_element()])
}}}
but the following fails in exactly the same way as the unit group example
{{{
H = AbelianGroup(5,[2])
H.subgroup([H.random_element()])
}}}
