getBasis -- Get a basis for a particular homological degree of a DG algebra.

Usage:

M = getBasis(n,A)
Inputs:
- n, an integer,
- A, an instance of the type DGAlgebra,
Optional inputs:
- Limit => ..., default value -1, Maximum number of basis elements to return from getBasis
Outputs:
- M, a matrix, The basis of the desired homological degree of the DG Algebra.

Description

This function is to allow for the retrieval of a basis of a particular homological degree of a DGAlgebra when the underlying algebra A.natural is multigraded. In the code, the homological grading is always the first integer in the degree tuple, and so this function returns a matrix consisting of all monomials in homological degree n.

o1 = R

o1 : PolynomialRing

i2 : A =  koszulComplexDGA(R)

o2 = {Ring => R                          }

Ways to use getBasis:

getBasis(ZZ,DGAlgebra)
getBasis(ZZ,DGModule) -- Basis of the hom-degree-n piece of a DG module
getBasis(ZZ,Ring) -- Get a basis for a degree of a ring.

For the programmer

The object getBasis is a method function with options.
