# Magma V2.15-14 Patch Notes

## Algebraic Geometry

- A memory leak in [`Saturate`](../AlgebraicGeometry/Schemes/schemes-creation.md#function-saturate-sch-ref) has been removed.

## Coding Theory

- A crash in [`SternsAttack`](../CodingTheory/LinearCodes/codingcrypto.md#function-sternsattack-code-modtupfldelt-rngintelt-rngintelt-rngintelt) has been fixed.  Reported by R. Niebuhr.

## Commutative Algebra

- Crashes in the function `CohomologyDimension` (related to [`Regularity`](../CommutativeAlgebra/ModulesOverMultivariateRings/free-resolution.md#function-regularity-modmpol)) and `Twist` have been fixed.  Reported by E. Rains.

## Cyclotomic Fields

- A memory problem occuring in the case of a sparse cyclotomic field of small degree where the conductor is a large integer, has been fixed.

## Graphs

- A problem in graphs when nauty data was not present has been fixed. Reported by D. Leemans.

## Groups

- A crash in `FPGroup` when applied to a regular permutation group has been fixed.  Bug reported by S. Humphries.
- A problem defining homomorphisms with domain an abelian group having some trivial generators has been fixed. Previously this generated a runtime error.
- A problem with the group name used by the print option of `pQuotient` has been fixed. The problem was caused by a recent bug fix. Reported by G. Havas.
- A crash in the matrix groups base and strong generating set code has been fixed.  Bug reported by M. Giudici.

## Groups of Lie type

- [`RelativeRootElement`](../LieTheory/ChevalleyGroups/construction.md#function-relativerootelement-grplie-rngintelt-fldelt) was incorrectly trying to coerce its output into the twisted group.
- `Order` was giving incorrect values when the group was constructed from a root subdatum with smaller root space than the original root datum.
- `Kernel` works for homomorphism from a group of Lie type which is known to be injective.
- `IsSimple` has been implemented for groups of Lie type.  The intrinsic `IsIrreducible` is now deprecated for this type.

## Number Fields

- A string of problems with non-simple extensions defined over a number field having a non-integral denominator have been fixed. Without this fix an internal error would be triggered.

## Polynomial Rings

- A problem with non-unique elements in polynomial quotient rings has been fixed.  Reported by M. Stoll.
- A crash in powering of elements in a chain of recursive rings has been fixed.  Reported by M. Stoll.

## Representation Theory

- A bug in `SymmetricRepresentation` (which computes an irreducible module for a symmetric group), which occurs when the non-`Specht` algorithm is used, has been fixed; the matrices being returned were acting on the left rather than the right as Magma expects.  Reported by M. Wildon.
