Quaternion Algebras


New Features:

  • The ConjugacyClasses of maximal orders or Eichler orders in definite quaternion algebras can now be computed.
  • A routine IsConjugate (or IsIsomorphic) is provided for quaternion orders.
  • Representatives of the TwoSidedIdealClasses, and the TwoSidedIdealClassGroup can be computed for an order in a definite quaternion algebra; the Support of the representatives can be specified by the user.
  • The Factorization of a two-sided ideal (in a definite quaternion order) can be obtained.
  • An alternative algorithm for the LeftIdealClasses and RightIdealClasses is provided, which is more efficient in many cases; the Support of the representatives can be specified by the user.
  • A more sophisticated UnitGroup algorithm, using results about the structure of the unit group, has been implemented for orders in definite quaternion algebras.
  • An intrinsic NormOneGroup is included.


Bug fixes:

  • A number of errors in enumeration of units and right ideal classes for orders in definite quaternion algebras over number fields have been corrected.
  • The pMatrixRing routine is now stable and available in all cases.
  • Trivial bugs in Embed have been fixed.
