Sage Days 15 Project Ideas
These are project ideas for Sage Days 15
MSVC 2008 port of PARI-2.4.2.alpha0
- Do a port of PARI-2.4.2.alpha0 to MSVC 2008, including MPIR support.
Low Level Simplicial Sets, CW Complexes, and Morphisms for Simplicial Complexes and Chain Complexes
PEOPLE: S. Ault, B. Antieau
S. Ault has a CW Complex class up and running (including the chain_complex() method). The next step is to work on a homology_with_generators method within the ChainComplex (See trac #5882).
- B. Antieau has simplicial complex morphisms, and has the functor to morphisms of chain complexes.
- There are simplicial complex morphism and chain complex morphism classes, and there is a method on the former to produce and instance of the latter, including base rings, augmentation, chain v. cochain.
- Working on various associated complexes of a map, like graph, mapping_{cone,cylinder,path_space}.
- Working on fiber products.
- Prepping for induced maps on homology, cohomology, ring structure on cohomology.
Prime Pi
PEOPLE: Fredrik Johansson, William Stein, Robert Bradshaw
- Investigate implementing the Meissel, Lehmer, Lagarias, Miller, Odlyzko for computing the number of primes up to x.
Steenrod Algebra cohomology (Yacop integration)
PEOPLE: Christian, John Palmieri, S. Ault, Bob Bruner
A first version is already available. Here's a page with installation instructions: Yacop
Stuff for the final report:
- Installation problems on Mac OS X fixed
- Defined SAGE framework for modules over the Steenrod algebra and created a first proof-of-concept implementation of some modules.
Quaternion Algebras (implement odd power of p dividing level case)
PEOPLE: Alia Hamieh, Jerome Lefebvre, William Stein.
- working on it.
Sage/Magma Comparison Audit
PEOPLE: William Stein, Bill Hart, Robert Bradshaw, Alia Hamieh, Jerome Lefebvre.
See sagebeatsmagma and magma
- Alia compared all of the functionality in both quadratic forms package and algebraic geometry package. She also has implemented an algorithm to be included in the binary quadratic form package.
- Jerome has done so for representation theory and is working on improving the group algebra in sage.
And we are both done with comparing. And we have both submitted the changes we wanted to make on this.
CANCELLED (already in Sage!) Generalized Bernoulli Numbers
PEOPLE: William Stein
- There is a simple 2 or 3 line formula for generalized Bernoulli numbers in terms of non-generalized ones, which could be used to speed up the chi.bernoulli_number(k) command (for a Dirichlet character chi) by a factor of thousands.
