Docker image for Software in the DFG SPP1489

We have created a "docker image" containing most of the software developed and used in the SPP. The image is available at:

https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/sppcomputeralgebra/sppdocker/

At the moment, it contains the following software:

  • Singular (including flint)
  • Polymake
  • Normaliz
  • 4ti2 (independent of Polymake)
  • GAP together with:
    • homalg (deposited packages)
    • PolymakeInterface
    and the newer develepments in GAP
    • homalg (undeposited packages)
    • CAP
    • SingularInterface
    • NormalizInterface
    • 4ti2gap
  • Julia/nemo

To start a Docker container from the image, you need a new version of docker installed on your computer (cf. https://docs.docker.com/). Then you can start a new docker session with

docker run -it sppcomputeralgebra/sppdocker

After some initialization time you are presented with a shell, where you can execute the CASs listed above as you are used to. The Dockerfile used to create the image is available under

https://github.com/sebasguts/SPPDocker.

Polymake - a tool to study the combinatorics and the geometry of convex polytopes and polyhedra

Extensions for Polymake:

Normaliz logo

Normaliz is a tool for computations in affine monoids, vector configurations, lattice polytopes, and rational cones. It computes

  • the dual cone of a rational cone (in other words, given generators, Normaliz computes the defining hyperplanes, and vice versa)
  • a placing (or lexicographic) triangulation of a vector configuration (resulting in a triangulation of the cone generated by it)
  • the Hilbert basis of a rational cone
  • the lattice points of a rational polytopes and (unbounded) polyhedra
  • the Hilbert (or Ehrhart) series and the Hilbert (or Ehrhart) (quasi) polynomial under a Z-grading (for example, for rational polytopes)
  • generalized (or weighted) Ehrhart series and Lebesgue integrals of polynomials over rational polytopes via NmzIntegrate (also in the semiopen case)

Normaliz comes with interfaces for Macaulay2 and Singular. Normaliz is accessible from polymake and is used by B. Burton's Regina. Moreover, there exist interfaces for CoCoA, Sage and GAP.

The homalg project is a multi-author multi-package open source software project for constructive homological algebra.

Mainly written in GAP4 it allows the use of external programs and other computer algebra systems (CASs) for specific time critical tasks.
Although the central part of the source code is the formalization of abstract notions like Abelian categories, our focus lies on concrete applications ranging from linear control theory to commutative algebra and algebraic geometry.

A big part of the project is already distributed with GAP. The yet undeposited packages and the tested development versions of all packages can be downloaded from the project GitHub homepage.

The core part of the project is the homalg package. It provides an abstract structure and algorithms for abelian categories.

The other modules, so called packages, of the homalg-project implement data structures and algorithms for several mathematical objects, like modules over graded rings or toric varieties.

High level homalg project packages developed during the first period of SSP1489:

GradedRingForHomalg: GradedRingForHomalg adds gradings to the rings in homalg. It is currently capable of grading a ring by a finitely generated abelian group.

GradedModules: The package GradedModules implements graded modules over graded ring. It also supports grading by a finitely generated abelian group.

PolymakeInterface: PolymakeInterface provides a link from GAP to polymake.

Convex: Convex contains structures for objects from convex geometry like fans and polyhedra.

ToricVarieties: Using Convex and GradedModules this part of the homalg project implements data structures and algorithms for toric varieties.

ToolsForHomalg: This module contains concepts used in the implementation of the homalg project. Newest part are so called To-Do-Lists, a tool to propagate knowledge between mathematical objects at runtime, and also for tracing proofs.

All the packages listed above, with all the mentioned features, are part of the current GAP release.
