Hello,

I have a rather basic question.
How can I compute the syzygies of I/I^2 in the following example?

R=QQ[q1,q2,p1,p2]
I=ideal(q1*p2,q2*p1,q1*p1-q2*p2)

I am struggeling with the syntax.

Thank you, Hans-Christian Herbig.

I assume you would like to compute the free resolution of I/I^2 as an R/I module.

Not being absolutely sure, that this is the right way to do it, but for me

S = R/I

J = I/I^2 ** S

resol = res J

looks promising.

Sorry, it must be

J = (I/I^2) ** S

(The parentheses are important).

Greetings,

Jürgen

Dear Jürgen,

R=QQ[q1,q2,p1,p2]
I=ideal(q1*p2,q2*p1,q1*p1-q2*p2) 
Q=R/I
M=(I/I^2)**Q

gives

cokernel
which is not plausible because the ideal is bigraded of degree (1,1)
and the answer is not.
