Description
To each additive/multiplicative characteristic class corresponds a sequence. Namely, due to the fundamental theorem of symmetric polynomials, each symmetric polynomial can be expressed in terms of the elementary symmetric polynomials. In our setup, the k
-th elementary symmetric polynomials corresponds to the k
-th Chern class. This allows us to express additive/multiplicative characteristic classes in terms of Chern classes (or Pontryagin classes in the real case respectively). This is the sequence.

This ticket is ready for review. Patchbot should turn green after this commit.

Do you have an example that gives something that is not a symmetric function over QQ
?
Also, you are better off using
m = Sym.m() m._from_dict({p: prod(ring(coeff[i]) for i in p) for k in range(len(coeff)) for p in Partitions(k))
which is faster as it more directly creates the symmmetric function you want.

Sure: x-y
is no symmetric function over QQ
.

Thanks, I'll try this.

Apparently, there is something wrong with the code since some doctests fail. I'll check on this.

I know what a symmetric function is (that is basically my main research area). What I want is a symmetric function over some other base ring besides QQ
. Can you add an example where this happens? In the branch, you say don't assume QQ
, so I want a doctest where that actually occurs.
comment:10 Changed 23 months ago by
Ah, I see. I was already wondering. :D
Well yes, the standard case is QQ
but at the moment, there is nothing that prevents you having a parameter in SR
. This might come in useful (I don't know when exactly, but I want to keep the possibility open). Now, I wanted to make sure that the algorithm always works, even in that case, so I chose SR
.
comment:11 Changed 23 months ago by
I will try another attempt using power series only. I hope this simplifies the code significantly. Furthermore, this could improve the performance since power series compute things faster than symbolic expressions; also the use of power series is mathematically more rigorous. Finally, power series (over the symbolic ring) allow to distinct between parameters and the actual variable.

General question: do the examples have to be mathematically sensible? For instance, there are plenty of examples where the coefficients of the Taylor expansion are not rationals and SR
is then a reasonable choice, but such examples are very uncommon in the application of characteristic classes.

Uncommon is different than mathematically sensible. Since it something you are supporting, it should be tested, even if it is uncommon. Something you could do is have ring
being None
and then have the code first try QQ
, and if that doesn't work, do it again with SR
. However, that would mean the code becomes more complicated. Another option would be to default to QQ
with the documentation saying that if it fails over QQ
, try SR
.

Thanks. This will be good. Just one comment on the code:
from sage.combinat.partition import Partitions # Get the multiplicative sequence in the monomial basis: - mon_pol = Sym.m().sum(prod(ring(coeff[i]) for i in p) * Sym.m()[p] + mon_pol = Sym.m()._from_dict({p: sum(prod(ring(coeff[i]) for i in p) for k in range(len(coeff)) - for p in Partitions(k)) + for p in Partitions(k)})
This will create the element faster with far less temporary objects.

You will probably also want to do something similar for the additive case.

comment:22 Changed 20 months ago by
Here we go. Wait for patchbot.
@Travis: However, I am not sure whether this ticket is still useful since I plan to reconstruct the whole architecture of characteristic classes. Perhaps it is good if you could join my talk on Friday because I plan to explain the rough idea of the current implementation and an outline of what I have in mind.

This will be good for now. If things get completely rewritten, then this can be modified/deprecated at that time.
