change_ring(R)¶

Return an affine space over ring $R$ and otherwise the same as self.

INPUT:

R – commutative ring

OUTPUT:

affine space over R

Note

There is no need to have any relation between $R$ and the base ring of self, if you want to have such a relation, use self.base_extend(R) instead.

EXAMPLES:

sage: A.<x, y, z> = AffineSpace(3, ZZ)
sage: AQ = A.change_ring(QQ); AQ
Affine Space of dimension 3 over Rational Field
sage: AQ.change_ring(GF(5))
Affine Space of dimension 3 over Finite Field of size 5

coordinate_ring()¶

Return the coordinate ring of this scheme, if defined.

EXAMPLES:

sage: R = AffineSpace(2, GF(9,'alpha'), 'z').coordinate_ring(); R
Multivariate Polynomial Ring in z0, z1 over Finite Field in alpha of size 3^2
sage: AffineSpace(3, R, 'x').coordinate_ring()
Multivariate Polynomial Ring in x0, x1, x2 over Multivariate Polynomial Ring in z0, z1 over Finite Field in alpha of size 3^2

ngens()¶

Return the number of generators of self, i.e. the number of variables in the coordinate ring of self.

EXAMPLES:

sage: AffineSpace(3, QQ).ngens()
3
sage: AffineSpace(7, ZZ).ngens()
7

projective_embedding(i=None, PP=None)¶

Returns a morphism from this space into an ambient projective space of the same dimension.

INPUT:

i - integer (default: dimension of self = last coordinate) determines which projective embedding to compute. The embedding is that which has a 1 in the i-th coordinate, numbered from 0.
PP - (default: None) ambient projective space, i.e., codomain of morphism; this is constructed if it is not given.

EXAMPLES:

sage: AA = AffineSpace(2, QQ, 'x')
sage: pi = AA.projective_embedding(0); pi
Scheme morphism:
  From: Affine Space of dimension 2 over Rational Field
  To:   Projective Space of dimension 2 over Rational Field
  Defn: Defined on coordinates by sending (x0, x1) to
        (1 : x0 : x1)
sage: z = AA(3,4)
sage: pi(z)
(1/4 : 3/4 : 1)
sage: pi(AA(0,2))
(1/2 : 0 : 1)
sage: pi = AA.projective_embedding(1); pi
Scheme morphism:
  From: Affine Space of dimension 2 over Rational Field
  To:   Projective Space of dimension 2 over Rational Field
  Defn: Defined on coordinates by sending (x0, x1) to
        (x0 : 1 : x1)
sage: pi(z)

sage: pi = AA.projective_embedding(2)
sage: pi(z)
(3 : 4 : 1)

rational_points(F=None)¶

Return the list of $F$ -rational points on the affine space self, where $F$ is a given finite field, or the base ring of self.

EXAMPLES:

sage: A = AffineSpace(1, GF(3))
sage: A.rational_points()
[(0), (1), (2)]
sage: A.rational_points(GF(3^2, 'b'))
[(0), (2*b), (b + 1), (b + 2), (2), (b), (2*b + 2), (2*b + 1), (1)]

sage: AffineSpace(2, ZZ).rational_points(GF(2))
[(0, 0), (1, 0), (0, 1), (1, 1)]

TESTS:

sage: AffineSpace(2, QQ).rational_points()
...
TypeError: Base ring (= Rational Field) must be a finite field.
sage: AffineSpace(1, GF(3)).rational_points(ZZ)
...
TypeError: Second argument (= Integer Ring) must be a finite field.

subscheme(X)¶

Return the closed subscheme defined by X.

INPUT:

  y^2,
  x*y^2
  To:   Spectrum of Rational Field
  Defn: Structure map
sage: X.dimension()
0

sage.schemes.generic.affine_space.is_AffineSpace(x)¶

Returns True if x is an affine space, i.e., an ambient space $\mathbb{A}^n_R$ , where $R$ is a ring and $n\geq 0$ is an integer.

EXAMPLES:
