deviations -- Computes the deviations of the input ring, complex, or power series.

Synopsis

• Usage:
devTally = deviations(R)
• Inputs:
• Optional inputs:
• DegreeLimit => ..., default value 3, Option to specify the maximum degree to look for generators when computing the deviations
• Outputs:
• devTally, ,

Description

This command computes the deviations of a Ring, a ChainComplex, or a power series in the form of a RingElement. The deviations are the same as the degrees of the generators of the acyclic closure of R, or the degrees of the generators of the Tor algebra of R. This function takes an option called Limit (default value 3) that specifies the largest deviation to compute.

Note that the deviations of T are not graded, since T is not graded. When calling deviations on a ChainComplex, the zeroth free module must be cyclic, and this is checked. The same goes for the case of a RingElement.
