Homology of modular abelian varieties.¶

Sage can compute with homology groups associated to modular abelian varieties with coefficients in any commutative ring. Supported operations include computing matrices and characteristic polynomials of Hecke operators, rank, and rational decomposition as a direct sum of factors (obtained by cutting out kernels of Hecke operators).

submodule(U, check=True)¶

Return the submodule of this homology group given by $U$ , which should be a submodule of the free module associated to this homology group.

INPUT:

U - submodule of ambient free module (or something that defines one)
check - currently ignored.

Note

We do not check that U is invariant under all Hecke operators.

EXAMPLES:

sage: H = J0(23).homology(); H
Integral Homology of Abelian variety J0(23) of dimension 2
sage: F = H.free_module()
sage: U = F.span([[1,2,3,4]])
sage: M = H.submodule(U); M
Submodule of rank 1 of Integral Homology of Abelian variety J0(23) of dimension 2

Note that the submodule command doesn’t actually check that the object defined is a homology group or is invariant under the Hecke operators. For example, the fairly random $M$ that we just defined is not invariant under the Hecke operators, so it is not a Hecke submodule - it is only a $\ZZ$ -submodule.

...
ArithmeticError: subspace is not invariant under matrix
