New description:
As pointed out in http://ask.sagemath.org/question/31223, there are
various problems with defining latex_name for the generators of number
fields. For example
{{{
sage: K.<a> = NumberField(x^3 - 5, latex_name='alpha')
sage: latex(a), K.latex_variable_name()
(alpha, 'alpha')
sage: y = polygen(K, 'y')
sage: L.<b> = K.extension(y^3 + a - 1, latex_name='beta')
sage: latex(b), L.latex_variable_name()
(b, 'beta')
sage: M.<c> = NumberField(y^3 + a - 1, latex_name='gamma')
sage: latex(c), M.latex_variable_name()
(c, 'c')
}}}
Also
{{{
sage: E.<rho> = NumberField(x^3 - 5)
sage: latex(rho), E.latex_variable_name()
(\rho, '\\rho')
sage: F.<rho> = NumberField(x^3 - 5, latex_name='rho')
sage: latex(rho), F.latex_variable_name()
(rho, 'rho')
sage: G.<rho> = NumberField(x^3 - 5, latex_name='sigma')
sage: latex(rho), G.latex_variable_name()
(sigma, 'sigma')
}}}
All these inconsistencies need ironing out.
