absolute_discriminant()

Returns the absolute discriminant of this p-adic ring

EXAMPLES:

sage: Zp(5).absolute_discriminant()
1
discriminant(K=None)

Returns the discriminant of this p-adic ring over K

INPUT:

  • self – a p-adic ring
  • K – a sub-ring of self or None (default: None)

OUTPUT:

  • integer – the discriminant of this ring over K (or the absolute discriminant if K is None)

EXAMPLES:

sage: Zp(5).discriminant()
1
fraction_field(print_mode=None)

Returns the fraction field of self.

INPUT:

  • print_mode - a dictionary containing print options. Defaults to the same options as this ring.

OUTPUT:

  • the fraction field of self.

EXAMPLES:

sage: R = Zp(5, print_mode='digits')
sage: K = R.fraction_field(); repr(K(1/3))[3:]
'31313131313131313132'
sage: L = R.fraction_field({'max_ram_terms':4}); repr(L(1/3))[3:]
'3132'
gen(n=0)

Returns the nth generator of this extension. For base rings/fields, we consider the generator to be the prime.

EXAMPLES:

sage: R = Zp(5); R.gen()
5 + O(5^21)
has_pth_root()

Returns whether or not \mathbb{Z}_p has a primitive p^{th} root of unity.

EXAMPLES:

sage: Zp(2).has_pth_root()
True
sage: Zp(17).has_pth_root()
False
has_root_of_unity(n)

Returns whether or not \mathbb{Z}_p has a primitive n^{th} root of unity.

INPUT:

  • self – a p-adic ring
  • n – an integer

OUTPUT:

  • boolean – whether self has primitive n^{th} root of unity

EXAMPLES:

sage: R=Zp(37)
sage: R.has_root_of_unity(12)
True
sage: R.has_root_of_unity(11)
False
integer_ring(print_mode=None)

Returns the integer ring of self, possibly with print_mode changed.

INPUT:

  • print_mode - a dictionary containing print options. Defaults to the same options as this ring.

OUTPUT:

  • The ring of integral elements in self.

EXAMPLES:

sage: K = Qp(5, print_mode='digits')
sage: R = K.integer_ring(); repr(R(1/3))[3:]
'31313131313131313132'
sage: S = K.integer_ring({'max_ram_terms':4}); repr(S(1/3))[3:]
'3132'
is_abelian()

Returns whether the Galois group is abelian, i.e. True. #should this be automorphism group?

EXAMPLES:

sage: R = Zp(3, 10,'fixed-mod'); R.is_abelian()
True
is_isomorphic(ring)

Returns whether self and ring are isomorphic, i.e. whether ring is an implementation of \mathbb{Z}_p for the same prime as self.

INPUT:

  • self – a p-adic ring
  • ring – a ring

OUTPUT:

  • boolean – whether ring is an implementation of mathbb{Z}_p` for the same prime as self.

EXAMPLES:

sage: R = Zp(5, 15, print_mode='digits'); S = Zp(5, 44, print_max_terms=4); R.is_isomorphic(S)
True
is_normal()

Returns whether or not this is a normal extension, i.e. True.

EXAMPLES:

sage: R = Zp(3, 10,'fixed-mod'); R.is_normal()
True
plot(max_points=2500, **args)

Creates a visualization of this p-adic ring as a fractal similar as a generalization of the the Sierpi’nski triangle. The resulting image attempts to capture the algebraic and topological characteristics of \mathbb{Z}_p.

INPUT:

  • point_count – the maximum number or points to plot, which controls the depth of recursion (default 2500)
  • **args – color, size, etc. that are passed to the underlying point graphics objects

EXAMPLES:

sage: Zp(3).plot()
sage: Zp(5).plot(max_points=625)
sage: Zp(23).plot(rgbcolor=(1,0,0))
uniformizer()

Returns a uniformizer for this ring.

EXAMPLES:

sage: R = Zp(3,5,'fixed-mod', 'series')
sage: R.uniformizer()
3 + O(3^5)
uniformizer_pow(n)

Returns the nth power of the uniformizer of self (as an element of self).

EXAMPLES:

sage: R = Zp(5)
sage: R.uniformizer_pow(5)
5^5 + O(5^25)
sage: R.uniformizer_pow(infinity)
0
zeta(n=None)

Returns a generator of the group of roots of unity.

INPUT:

  • self – a p-adic ring
  • n – an integer or None (default: None)

OUTPUT:

  • element – a generator of the n^{th} roots of unity, or a generator of the full group of roots of unity if n is None

EXAMPLES:

sage: R = Zp(37,5)
sage: R.zeta(12)
8 + 24*37 + 37^2 + 29*37^3 + 23*37^4 + O(37^5)
zeta_order()

Returns the order of the group of roots of unity.

EXAMPLES:

sage: R = Zp(37); R.zeta_order()
36
sage: Zp(2).zeta_order()
2
