Magma can compute group cohomology $H^i(G,M)$ with $i=0,1,2$ for a finite group $G$ and a $G$-module $M$ over integers or finite fields. I am wondering does it work with modules over the additive ...

I'm a bit confused about the Mumford representation of Jacobians of hyperelliptic curves used in Magma. More precisely, I'm confused about the divisor at infinity $D_\infty$ used to represent elements ...

Consider the non-unital ring $R := u \mathbb{F}_5 + v \mathbb{F}_5 + uv \mathbb{F}_5 = \{ ua + vb + uvc : a,b,c \in \mathbb{F}_5 \} $ where $u^2 = v^2 =0$ and $uv=vu$. Then $R$ has $125$ elements. I ...

The small group database of the computer algebra system MAGMA has a family of finite groups called "other-dihedral group": $$ \text{OD}n := \langle a, b: a^{2^{k-1}} = b^2 = 1, b a b^{-1} =...

I want to define a family of plane curves in MAGMA over, say, $\mathbb{G}_m$ in MAGMA (all over $\mathbb{C}$). Specifically, I want to consider the family $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + t(xy + yz + zx)$, where $t$...

See below my toy Magma program and the printout. Here $K$ is a global function field, a quadratic extension $K_0(u)$ of the field of rational functions $K_0={\mathbb F}_5(t)$ over the finite field ${\...

I would like to explicitly compute the Hasse-Weil zeta function of $X_0(N)$ modulo $p$ in some examples. This is mostly for my own edification, so I'm not too worried about any particular restrictions ...

I'm trying to use Magma to count homomorphisms from fp groups to finite (permutation) groups, and it is giving me weird answers. For example, if I construct a cyclic group, it says there are no ...

I'm trying to write a code in magma (or sage) that given a smooth cubic surface in $\mathbb{P}^3$ and a point on the surface, it give me the ramifiaction locus (so a quartic). For writing the map I ...
