Torsion Quadratic Modules

A torsion quadratic module is the quotient of two quadratic integer lattices in the quadratic space . It inherits a bilinear form

as well as a quadratic form

The underlying Type

# TorQuadMod — Type.

TorQuadMod

Example:

julia> A = matrix(ZZ, [[2,0,0,-1],[0,2,0,-1],[0,0,2,-1],[-1,-1,-1,2]]);

julia> L = Zlattice(gram = A);

julia> T = Hecke.discriminant_group(L)
Finite quadratic module over Integer Ring with underlying abelian group
GrpAb: (Z/2)^2
Gram matrix of the quadratic form with values in Q/2Z
[   1   1//2]
[1//2      1]

We represent torsion quadratic modules as quotients of -lattices by a full rank sublattice.

We store them as a -lattice M together with a projection p : M -> A onto an abelian group A. The bilinear structure of A is induced via p, that is <a, b> = <p^-1(a), p^-1(a)> with values in , where is the modulus and depends on the kernel of p.

Elements of A are basically just elements of the underlying abelian group. To move between M and A, we use the lift function lift : M -> A and coercion A(m).

Examples

julia> R = rescale(root_lattice(:D,4),2);

julia> D = discriminant_group(R);

julia> A = abelian_group(D)
GrpAb: (Z/2)^2 x (Z/4)^2

julia> d = D[1]
[1, 0, 0, 0]

julia> d == D(A(d))
true

julia> lift(d)
4-element Vector{fmpq}:
 1
 1
 3//2
 1

N.B. Since there are no elements of -latties, we think of elements of M as elements of the ambient vector space. Thus if v::Vector is such an element then the coordinates with respec to the basis of M are given by solve_left(basis_matrix(M), v).
