[sage-combinat-devel] Re: Fraction field elements are not simplified

2015-10-14 Thread VulK
Dear All, here is a brief status update on this issue. TL;DR: Laurent Polynomial Ring does not provide a gcd implementation. Recall that we are in this situation: sage: L = LaurentPolynomialRing(LaurentPolynomialRing(ZZ,'t'),'x') sage: R = L.fraction_field() sage: R.inject_variables() Defining x

I think I slightly misspoke about the gcd. See the details on http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/16993. Best, Travis On Friday, October 9, 2015 at 4:12:12 PM UTC-5, Travis Scrimshaw wrote: > > Hey Salvatore, >I would say this is the same problem as simplifying scalars of fraction > fields of

Hey Salvatore, I would say this is the same problem as simplifying scalars of fraction fields of polynomials over QQ, that gcd(x, x) = 1 rather than x because x is a unit. I don't think we have a way around this currently other than doing some kind of explicit coercion. Best, Travis On
