11 areas

Algebraic Number Fields

  • The input accepted by GaloisSplittingField has been made clearer.
  • A bug in the computation of a UnitGroup of an order of a number field has been fixed.

Commutative Algebra

  • A crash involving computing free resolutions over number fields has been fixed.
  • An inefficiency in some computations of Groebner bases over finite fields of characteristic 2 has been fixed.
  • A missing error check for Gröbner basis input polynomials with too high degree when a degree limit is present has been fixed. Reported by P.-J. Spaenlehauer.

Dedekind Modules

  • The reduction of elements in quotients of Dedekind modules has been fixed.

FP Algebras

  • A hanging problem with embedding scalars into FP algebras has been fixed. Reported by S. Schoennenbeck.

Hypergeometric Motives

  • The ComplexEvaluation intrinsic for Jacobi motives was fixed to properly include the Tate-twsting factor.
  • A bug with insufficient precision with Grossencharacter of a Jacobi motive has been fixed. Reported by D. Roberts.
  • Problems with identifying the correct infinity-type for the Grossencharacter of a Jacobi motive have been remedied.

L-Series

  • A bug with the EulerFactor of a Hilbert modular form at a prime which splits into different degree ideals was fixed (the relevant sequence could not hold both polynomials and power series). Reported by J. Voight.

Local Fields

  • The check on the leading coefficient in IsEisenstein has been fixed. Reported by R. Mueller.

Matrices

  • A crash on the 32-bit version in LLL for matrices over univariate polynomial rings has been fixed.

Primality Testing

  • A bug with IsPrime for numbers of the form N^2+1 has been fixed.

Quaternion Algebras

  • A problem with IsQuaternionAlgebra and orders has been fixed, with some confusion between trace and norm and the their reduced versions. Reported by J. Voight and J. Sijsling.

Schemes

  • Error checking in InverseDefiningPolynomials for a map between schemes which is a composition of maps between schemes has been improved.
