Though the following looks fine sage: SymmetricFunctions(ZZ).e() in IntegralDomains() True > The other problem is that fraction_field is not a parent method of > IntegralDomains. Indeed, it is only implemented in sage/rings/ring.pyx which is a historic left over. Moreover, the implementation uses a custom cache with double underscore where cached_method would do the job. I think it would be a good time to try to move the implementation to categories. Could you open a ticket and cc me? > I'd be grateful for input / corrections. As Trevor implicitly suggested, I think you want a custom fraction field here so that you can change basis. Typically, you would like a coherent interface as follows sage: S = SymmetricFunctions(ZZ) sage: S.fraction_field().e() is S.e().fraction_field() True sage: Ke = S.fraction_field().e() sage: Kp = S.fraction_field().p() sage: Kp(Ke([3,2,1]) / Ke([2,1])) == Kp(Ke([3,2,1])) / Kp(Ke([2,1])) True But to my mind this is another layer of complexity and would require an other iteration of tickets.
