> | ### 7.5.1 bimodules_lib Library: bimodules.lib Purpose: Tools for handling bimodules Authors: Ann Christina Foldenauer, Christina.Foldenauer@rwth-aachen.de Viktor Levandovskyy, levandov@math.rwth-aachen.de Overview: The main purpose of this library is the handling of bimodules which will help e.g. to determine weak normal forms of representation matrices and total divisors within non-commutative, non-simple G-algebras. We will use modules homomorphisms between a G-algebra and its enveloping algebra in order to work left Groebner basis theory on bimodules. Assume we have defined a (non-commutative) G-algebra A over the field K, and an (A,A)-bimodule M. Instead of working with M over A, we define the enveloping algebra A^{env} = A otimes_K A^{opp} (this can be done with command envelope(A)) and embed M into A^{env} via imap(). Thus we obtain the left A^{env}-module M otimes 1 in A^{env}. This has a lot of advantages, because left module theory has much more commands that are already implemented in SINGULAR:PLURAL. Two important procedures that we can use are std() which computes the left Groebner basis, and NF() which computes the left normal form. With the help of this method we are also able to determine the set of bisyzygies of a bimodule. A built-in command `twostd` in PLURAL computes the two-sided Groebner basis of an ideal by using the right completion algorithm of [2]. `bistd` from this library uses very different approach, which is often superior to the right completion.
