A quotient \(V/W\) of two vector spaces as a vector space.

To obtain \(V\) or \(W\) use self.V() and self.W().

We create three quotient spaces and compare them:

sage: A = QQ^2
sage: V = A.span_of_basis([[1,0], [1,1]])
sage: W0 = V.span([V.1, V.0])
sage: W1 = V.span([V.1])
sage: W2 = V.span([V.1])
sage: Q0 = V/W0
sage: Q1 = V/W1
sage: Q2 = V/W2

sage: Q0 == Q1
False
sage: Q1 == Q2
True

Given this quotient space \(Q = V/W\), return \(V\).

This is the same as V().

lift(x)

Lift element of this quotient \(V / W\) to \(V\) by applying the fixed lift homomorphism.

The lift is a fixed homomorphism.

sage: M.lift(M.1)

lift_map()

Given this quotient space \(Q = V / W\), return a fixed choice of linear homomorphism (a section) from \(Q\) to \(V\).

quotient_map()

Given this quotient space \(Q = V / W\), return the natural quotient map from \(V\) to \(Q\).

(0, 0)

relations()

Given this quotient space \(Q = V/W\), return \(W\).

This is the same as W().
