Documentation	Build Status

Welcome to the OSCAR project, a visionary new computer algebra system
which combines the capabilities of four cornerstone systems: GAP,
Polymake, Antic and Singular.

Installation

OSCAR requires Julia 1.10 or newer. In principle it can be installed and used
like any other Julia package; doing so will take a couple of minutes:

julia> using Pkg
julia> Pkg.add("Oscar")
julia> using Oscar

However, some of OSCAR's components have additional requirements.
For more detailed information, please consult the installation
instructions on our website.

Contributing to OSCAR

Please read the introduction for new developers
in the OSCAR manual to learn more on how to contribute to OSCAR.

julia> k, a = quadratic_field(-5)
(Imaginary quadratic field defined by x^2 + 5, sqrt(-5))

julia> zk = maximal_order(k)
Maximal order
  of imaginary quadratic field defined by x^2 + 5
with Z-basis [1, sqrt(-5)]

julia> factorizations(zk(6))
2-element Vector{Fac{AbsSimpleNumFieldOrderElem}}:
 -1 * -3 * 2
 -1 * (sqrt(-5) + 1) * (sqrt(-5) - 1)

julia> Qx, x = polynomial_ring(QQ, [:x1,:x2])
(Multivariate polynomial ring in 2 variables over QQ, QQMPolyRingElem[x1, x2])

julia> R = grade(Qx, [1,2])[1]
Multivariate polynomial ring in 2 variables over QQ graded by
  x1 -> [1]
  x2 -> [2]

julia> f = R(x[1]^2+x[2])
x1^2 + x2

julia> degree(f)
[2]

julia> F = free_module(R, 1)
Free module of rank 1 over R

julia> s = sub(F, [f*F[1]])[1]
Submodule with 1 generator
  1: (x1^2 + x2)*e[1]
represented as subquotient with no relations

julia> H, mH = hom(s, quo(F, s)[1])
(hom of (s, Subquotient of submodule with 1 generator
  1: e[1]
by submodule with 1 generator
  1: (x1^2 + x2)*e[1]), Map: H -> set of all homomorphisms from s to subquotient of submodule with 1 generator
  1: e[1]
by submodule with 1 generator
  1: (x1^2 + x2)*e[1])

julia> mH(H[1])
Module homomorphism
  from s
  to subquotient of submodule with 1 generator
    1: e[1]
  by submodule with 1 generator
    1: (x1^2 + x2)*e[1]

Of course, the cornerstones are also available directly. For example:

julia> C = Polymake.polytope.cube(3);

julia> C.F_VECTOR
pm::Vector<pm::Integer>
8 12 6

julia> RP2 = Polymake.topaz.real_projective_plane();

julia> RP2.HOMOLOGY
pm::Array<topaz::HomologyGroup<pm::Integer> >
({} 0)
({(2 1)} 0)
({} 0)
