unWitt -- Returns the underlying ring R of a Witt ring W_n(R)

Description

If WR is one of the witt rings of R, unWitt(WR) returns the ring R.

i1 : R = (ZZ/3)[x,y,z] / ideal(x^2 + y^2 + z^2);
i2 : WR = witt(2, R);
i3 : unWitt(WR)

o3 = R

o3 : QuotientRing

Ways to use unWitt:

  • unWitt(WittPolynomialRing)
  • unWitt(WittQuotientRing)

For the programmer

The object unWitt is a method function.
