Hi! Let R,S be rings and f:R-->S be a ring homomorphism. If R,S are base rings of, e.g., matrix rings or polynomial rings, shouldn't it be possible to construct the homomorphism of the "bigger" rings induced by f? But how?
For example, sage: R.<x> = QQ[] sage: MS = MatrixSpace(R,2,2) sage: P.<y> = R[] sage: f = R.hom([2*x],R) How does one create the endomorphisms of MS and P induced by f? On a related note, how does one create a homomorphism of a Laurent polynomial ring? I tried this: sage: R.<x> = LaurentPolynomialRing(ZZ) sage: f = R.hom([x],R) ERROR: An unexpected error occurred while tokenizing input The following traceback may be corrupted or invalid The error message is: ('EOF in multi-line statement', (4, 0)) ... TypeError: images do not define a valid homomorphism So, can one even not create the identity morphism?
