wittOverringIdeal -- The expansion of the witt ideal to the witt overring.

Description

If R is a polynomial ring of positive characteristic, I is an ideal of R, and $n \geq 1$ is an integer, one has an ideal W_n(I) of W_n(R) given as the kernel of $W_n(R) \to W_n(R / I)$. The method wittOverringIdeal(n, I) returns the expansion of W_n(I) to the n-th witt overring of R.

i1 : R = (ZZ / 3)[x,y,z];
i2 : I = ideal(x^2, y^2, z^2);

o2 : Ideal of R
i3 : wittOverringIdeal(2, I)
