A comprehensive open source computer algebra system for computations in algebra, geometry, and number theory.

Documentation	Build Status

Welcome to the OSCAR project, a visionary new computer algebra system which combines the capabilities of four cornerstone systems: GAP, Polymake, Antic and Singular.

Installation

OSCAR requires Julia 1.6 or newer. In principle it can be installed and used like any other Julia package; doing so will take a couple of minutes:

julia> using Pkg
julia> Pkg.add("Oscar")
julia> using Oscar

However, some of OSCAR's components have additional requirements. For more detailed information, please consult the installation instructions on our website.

Contributing to OSCAR

Please read the introduction for new developers in the OSCAR manual to learn more on how to contribute to OSCAR.

julia> k, a = quadratic_field(-5)
(Imaginary quadratic field defined by x^2 + 5, sqrt(-5))

julia> zk = maximal_order(k)
Maximal order of Imaginary quadratic field defined by x^2 + 5
with basis AbsSimpleNumFieldElem[1, sqrt(-5)]

julia> factorizations(zk(6))
2-element Vector{Fac{AbsSimpleNumFieldOrderElem}}:
 -1 * -3 * 2
 -1 * (-sqrt(-5) - 1) * (-sqrt(-5) + 1)

julia> Qx, x = polynomial_ring(QQ, [:x1,:x2])
(Multivariate polynomial ring in 2 variables over QQ, QQMPolyRingElem[x1, x2])

julia> R = grade(Qx, [1,2])[1]
Multivariate polynomial ring in 2 variables over QQ graded by
  x1 -> [1]
  x2 -> [2]

julia> f = R(x[1]^2+x[2])
x1^2 + x2

julia> degree(f)
[2]

julia> F = free_module(R, 1)
Free module of rank 1 over R

julia> s = sub(F, [f*F[1]])[1]
Submodule with 1 generator
1 -> (x1^2 + x2)*e[1]
represented as subquotient with no relations.

julia> H, mH = hom(s, quo(F, s)[1])
(hom of (s, Subquotient of
1 -> e[1]
by
1 -> (x1^2 + x2)*e[1]), Map: H -> set of all homomorphisms from s to subquotient of Submodule with 1 generator
1 -> e[1]
by Submodule with 1 generator
1 -> (x1^2 + x2)*e[1])

julia> mH(H[1])
Map with following data
Domain:
=======
Submodule with 1 generator
1 -> (x1^2 + x2)*e[1]
represented as subquotient with no relations.
Codomain:
=========
Subquotient of Submodule with 1 generator
1 -> e[1]
by Submodule with 1 generator
1 -> (x1^2 + x2)*e[1]

Of course, the cornerstones are also available directly:

julia> C = Polymake.polytope.cube(3);

julia> C.F_VECTOR
pm::Vector<pm::Integer>
8 12 6

julia> RP2 = Polymake.topaz.real_projective_plane();

julia> RP2.HOMOLOGY
pm::Array<topaz::HomologyGroup<pm::Integer> >
({} 0)
({(2 1)} 0)
({} 0)
