Dear all, In order to get algebraic polyhedra using the normaliz backend [1], we modify the function
number_field_elements_from_algebraics of qqbar.py to give embedded number fields and also accept a larger class of algebraic numbers, say coming from cyclotomic fields [2]. For example, this is now possible: sage: UCF = UniversalCyclotomicField() sage: E = UCF.gen(5) sage: L.<b> = NumberField(x^2-189*x+16, embedding=200) sage: my_nums = [-52*E - 136*E^2 - 136*E^3 - 52*E^4, L.gen()._algebraic_(AA),sqrt(2)] sage: aa_my_nums = [AA(_) for _ in my_nums] sage: res = number_field_elements_from_algebraics(aa_my_nums,embedded=True) sage: res (Number Field in a with defining polynomial y^8 - 35670*y^6 + 476899047*y^4 - 2832410271650*y^2 + 6305298701739921, [2310/26212773509*a^7 - 185432947/78638320527*a^5 + 1652517502195/78638320527*a^3 - 4904676315215467/78638320527*a + 94, -1238/2803377488467023*a^7 + 185460719/11213509953868092*a^5 - 2754936849443/11213509953868092*a^3 + 8180694680816975/3737836651289364*a + 189/2, -1979/1887160880826*a^7 + 26472586/943580440413*a^5 - 235822245043/943580440413*a^3 + 466325019915415/629053626942*a], Ring morphism: From: Number Field in a with defining polynomial y^8 - 35670*y^6 + 476899047*y^4 - 2832410271650*y^2 + 6305298701739921 To: Algebraic Real Field Defn: a |--> 96.9475535136628?) sage: res[0].gen_embedding() 96.9475535136628? The ticket 2018 needs review and it would be nice to have the opinion of experts on number fields in Sage... For example, there is currently one failing doctest where it seems that the newer version is smarter, so that the test is not necessary anymore.
