Magma V2.23-6 Patch Notes

Patch release for Magma V2.23-6. Updated areas: Abelian Fields, Algebras, Analytic Jacobians, Artin Representations, Conics and 9 more.

14 areas

Abelian Fields

  • The GenusField intrinsic has been corrected in some cases where the original abelian extension is not absolutely abelian. Reported by A. Bartel.

Algebras

  • Constructing sets from orders of algebras has been fixed. Reported by M. Kirschmer.

  • A crash in CompositionFactors for associative algebras has been fixed.

  • An error in element arithmetic in Lie algebras over certain prime finite fields has been fixed. Reported by S. Garibaldi.

Analytic Jacobians

  • An incorrect answer for ToAnalyticJacobian at Weierstrass points has been corrected. Reported by J. Sijsling.

Artin Representations

  • A problem with p-adic internal precision and HenselLift was fixed. Noted from a bug with of J. Jones.

  • A bug involving use of try/catch in Print (thus causing errors on traceback) has been fixed. Noted from a bug of J. Jones.

Conics

  • A problem with reducible input was fixed. Reported by J. Voight.

Groups

  • A crash in AbsolutelyIrreducibleModulesSchur has been fixed. The crash occurred when the parameters meant that the return sequence was empty. Bug reported by E. O’Brien.

Hypergeometric Motives

  • A problem with a non-integral wild Euler factor was fixed. Reported by J. Jones.

Language

  • It is now recommended that Print intrinsics for user-defined objects implement a “Minimal” version that in particular does not use (failing) try/catch constructions. The Magma error handler is unable to handle tracebacks when Print is overly complicated, particularly with recursive errors from try/catch then being triggered.

Local Fields

  • Zeroth powers of zero are now 1 instead of an imprecise zero. Reported by J. Tuitman.

Matrices

  • A failure in matrix inversion for certain types of rational matrices has been fixed. Reported by A. Page.

Number Fields

  • A problem with intersection of number fields has been fixed.

  • Computing an order from a sequence of elements in a number field represented as a tower of extensions has been fixed.

Polynomial Rings

  • A problem with polynomial multiplication over non-commutative base rings has been fixed. Reported by Y. B. Ti.

  • A crash with computing roots of polynomials over number fields has been fixed. E. González-Jiménez.

Real Numbers

  • A problem with epsilonic real/imaginary parts of Roots was fixed, so that IsReal should now work as previously. Noted from a bug of J. Jones.

Real/Complex Linear Algebra

  • A problem with subspaces of empty vector spaces has been fixed.
