Coerce actions
Bases: sage.structure.coerce_actions.GenericAction
Class for actions defined via the _act_on_ method.
Bases: sage.structure.coerce_actions.GenericAction
Class for actions defined via the _acted_upon_ method.
Bases: sage.categories.action.Action
TESTS:
sage: sage.structure.coerce_actions.ActedUponAction(MatrixSpace(ZZ, 2), Cusps, True)
Left action by Full MatrixSpace of 2 by 2 dense matrices over Integer Ring on Set P^1(QQ) of all cusps

Traceback (most recent call last):

NotImplementedError: Action not implemented.
This will break if we tried to use it:
sage: sage.structure.coerce_actions.GenericAction(QQ, Zmod(6), True, check=False)
Left action by Rational Field on Ring of integers modulo 6
Returns the “codomain” of this action, i.e. the Parent in which the result elements live. Typically, this should be the same as the acted upon set.
EXAMPLES:
sage: A = sage.structure.coerce_actions.ActedUponAction(MatrixSpace(ZZ, 2), Cusps, True)
sage: A.codomain()
Set P^1(QQ) of all cusps
sage: A = sage.structure.coerce_actions.ActOnAction(SymmetricGroup(3), QQ['x,y,z'], False)
sage: A.codomain()
Multivariate Polynomial Ring in x, y, z over Rational Field
Bases: sage.categories.action.Action
This class implements the action via
repeated doubling.
Both addition and negation must be defined on the set .
INPUT:
EXAMPLES:
sage: from sage.structure.coerce_actions import IntegerMulAction
sage: R.<x> = QQ['x']
sage: act = IntegerMulAction(ZZ, R)
sage: act(5, x)
5*x
sage: act(0, x)
0
sage: act(-3, x-1)
-3*x + 3
Bases: sage.structure.coerce_actions.ModuleAction
This creates an action of an element of a module by an element of its base ring. The simplest example to keep in mind is R acting on the polynomial ring R[x].
EXAMPLES:
sage: from sage.structure.coerce_actions import LeftModuleAction
sage: LeftModuleAction(ZZ, ZZ['x'])
Left scalar multiplication by Integer Ring on Univariate Polynomial Ring in x over Integer Ring
sage: LeftModuleAction(ZZ, QQ['x'])
Left scalar multiplication by Integer Ring on Univariate Polynomial Ring in x over Rational Field
sage: LeftModuleAction(QQ, ZZ['x'])
Left scalar multiplication by Rational Field on Univariate Polynomial Ring in x over Integer Ring
sage: LeftModuleAction(QQ, ZZ['x']['y'])
Left scalar multiplication by Rational Field on Univariate Polynomial Ring in y over Univariate Polynomial Ring in x over Integer Ring

sage: R.<x> = PolynomialRing(ZZ)
sage: S.<x> = PolynomialRing(ZZ, sparse=True)
sage: 1/R.0
1/x
sage: 1/S.0
1/x

Module action.

This is an abstract class, one must actually instantiate a LeftModuleAction or a RightModuleAction.
INPUT:
NOTE:
By default, the sample elements of S and G are obtained from an_element(), which relies on the implementation of an _an_element_() method. This is not always awailable. But usually, the action is only needed when one already has two elements. Hence, by trac ticket #14249, the coercion model will pass these two elements the the ModuleAction constructor.
The actual action is implemented by the _rmul_ or _lmul_ function on its elements. We must, however, be very particular about what we feed into these functions, because they operate under the assumption that the inputs lie exactly in the base ring and may segfault otherwise. Thus we handle all possible base extensions manually here.
The codomain of self, which may or may not be equal to the domain.
