The Rees algebra of a module M over a ring R is here defined, following the paper What is the Rees algebra of a module? David Eisenbud, Craig Huneke and Bernd Ulrich, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 131 (2003) 701--708, as follows: If h:F→M is a surjection from a free module, and g: M→G is the universal map to a free module, then the Rees algebra of M is the image of the induced map of Sym(gh): Sym(F)→Sym(G), and thus can be computed with symmetricKernel(gh). The paper above proves that if M is isomorphic to an ideal with inclusion g: M→R (or, in characteristic zero but not in characteristic >0 if M is a submodule of a free module and g’: M→G) is any injection), then the Rees algebra is equal to the image of g’h, so it is unnecessary to compute the universal embedding.
This package gives the user a choice between two methods for finding the defining ideal of the Rees algebra of an ideal or module M over a ring R: The call
reesIdeal(M)
computes the universal embedding g: M→G and a surjection f: F→M and returns the result of symmetricKernel(gf). On the other hand, if the user knows an non-zerodivisor a∈R such that M[a-1 is a free module (this is the case, for example, if a ∈M⊂R and a is a non-zerodivisor), then it is often much faster to call
reesIdeal(M,a)
which finds a surjection f: F→M and returns (J:a∞) ⊂Sym(F), the saturation of the ideal J:=(ker f)Sym(F). Note that this gives the correct answer even under the slightly weaker hypothesis that M[a-1] is “of linear type”. (See also isLinearType.)
