That's quite a thread. One thing I'd like to highlight from there that didn't seem to get so much traction is a point Marco Streng made about possible notations for right actions: If G is a group acting on the right on a ring R, and a,b in R and s in G then denoting right-action by right-multiplication has a problem: (a*b)*s would suggest it's equal to a*(b*s), which it is generally not. Exponential notation (a*b)^s does not suffer from this problem. That disqualifies right-multiplication as a general notation for right-actions to me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
