Solve S-unit equation x + y = 1¶

Inspired by work of Tzanakis–de Weger, Baker–Wustholz and Smart, we use the LLL methods in Sage to implement an algorithm that returns all S-unit solutions to the equation $x + y = 1$ .

sage.rings.number_field.S_unit_solver.clean_rfv_dict(rfv_dictionary)¶

Given a residue field vector dictionary, removes some impossible keys and entries.

INPUT:

rfv_dictionary – a dictionary whose keys are exponent vectors and whose values are residue field vectors

OUTPUT:

None. But it removes some keys from the input dictionary.

Note

The keys of a residue field vector dictionary are exponent vectors modulo (q-1) for some prime q.
The values are residue field vectors. It is known that the entries of a residue field vector which comes from a solution to the S-unit equation cannot have 1 in any entry.

EXAMPLES:

In this example, we use a truncated list generated when solving the $S$ -unit equation in the case that $K$ is defined by the polynomial $x^2+x+1$ and $S$ consists of the primes above 3:

sage: from sage.rings.number_field.S_unit_solver import clean_rfv_dict
sage: rfv_dict = {(1, 3): [3, 2], (3, 0): [6, 6], (5, 4): [3, 6], (2, 1): [4, 6], (5, 1): [3, 1], (2, 5): [1, 5], (0, 3): [1, 6]}

sage.rings.number_field.S_unit_solver.clean_sfs(sfs_list)¶

Given a list of S-unit equation solutions, remove trivial redundancies.

INPUT:

sfs_list – a list of solutions to the S-unit equation

OUTPUT:

A list of solutions to the S-unit equation

Note

The function looks for cases where x + y = 1 and y + x = 1 appearas separate solutions, and removes one.

EXAMPLES:

The function is not dependent on the number field and removes redundancies in any list.

sage: from sage.rings.number_field.S_unit_solver import clean_sfs
sage: sols = [((1, 0, 0), (0, 0, 1), -1, 2), ((0, 0, 1), (1, 0, 0), 2, -1)]

iota – an element of K
U – a list of places (finite or infinite) of K
prec – the precision of the real field (default: 106)

OUTPUT:

The log vector as a list of real numbers

sage.rings.number_field.S_unit_solver.compatible_system_lift(compatible_system, split_primes_list)¶

Given a compatible system of exponent vectors and complementary exponent vectors, return a lift to the integers.

INPUT:

compatible_system – a list of pairs [ [v0, w0], [v1, w1], .., [vk, wk] ] where [vi, wi] is a pair of complementary exponent vectors modulo qi - 1, and all pairs are compatible.
split_primes_list – a list of primes [ q0, q1, .., qk ]

A pair of vectors [v, w] satisfying:

v[0] == vi[0] for all i
w[0] == wi[0] for all i
v[j] == vi[j] modulo qi - 1 for all i and all j > 0
w[j] == wi[j] modulo qi - 1 for all i and all $j > 0$
every entry of v and w is bounded by L/2 in absolute value, where L is the least common multiple of {qi - 1 : qi in split_primes_list }

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.rings.number_field.S_unit_solver import compatible_system_lift
sage: split_primes_list = [3, 7]
sage: comp_sys = [[(0, 1, 0), (0, 1, 0)], [(0, 3, 4), (0, 1, 2)]]

sage.rings.number_field.S_unit_solver.compatible_systems(split_prime_list, complement_exp_vec_dict)¶

Given dictionaries of complement exponent vectors for various primes that split in K, compute all possible compatible systems.

INPUT:

split_prime_list – a list of rational primes that split completely in $K$
complement_exp_vec_dict – a dictionary of dictionaries. The keys are primes from split_prime_list.

OUTPUT:

A list of compatible systems of exponent vectors.

Note

For any q in split_prime_list, complement_exp_vec_dict[q] is a dictionary whose keys are exponent vectors modulo q-1 and whose values are lists of exponent vectors modulo q-1 which are complementary to the key.

an item in system_list has the form [ [v0, w0], [v1, w1], ..., [vk, wk] ], where:

- ``qj = split_prime_list[j]``
- ``vj`` and ``wj`` are complementary exponent vectors modulo ``qj - 1``
- the pairs are all simultaneously compatible.

Let H = lcm( qj - 1 : qj in split_primes_list ). Then for any compatible system, there is at most one pair of integer exponent vectors [v, w] such that:

- every entry of ``v`` and ``w`` is bounded in absolute value by ``H``
- for any ``qj``, ``v`` and ``vj`` agree modulo ``(qj - 1)``
- for any ``qj``, ``w`` and ``wj`` agree modulo ``(qj - 1)``

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.rings.number_field.S_unit_solver import compatible_systems
sage: split_primes_list = [3, 7]
sage: checking_dict = {3: {(0, 1, 0): [(1, 0, 0)]}, 7: {(0, 1, 0): [(1, 0, 0)]}}

sage.rings.number_field.S_unit_solver.compatible_vectors(a, m0, m1, g)¶

Given an exponent vector a modulo m0, returns an iterator over the exponent vectors for the modulus m1, such that a lift to the lcm modulus exists.

INPUT:

a – an exponent vector for the modulus m0
m0 – a positive integer (specifying the modulus for a)
m1 – a positive integer (specifying the alternate modulus)
g – the gcd of m0 and m1

OUTPUT:

A list of exponent vectors modulo m1 which are compatible with a.

Note

Exponent vectors must agree exactly in the 0th position in order to be compatible.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.rings.number_field.S_unit_solver import compatible_vectors
sage: a = (3, 1, 8, 1)
sage: list(compatible_vectors(a, 18, 12, gcd(18,12)))

(3, 1, 2, 7),
(3, 1, 8, 1),

(3, 7, 2, 1),
(3, 7, 2, 7),
(3, 7, 8, 1),
(3, 7, 8, 7)]

The order of the moduli matters.

sage: len(list(compatible_vectors(a, 18, 12, gcd(18,12))))

INPUT:

a0 – an exponent vector modulo m0
a1 – an exponent vector modulo m1 (must have the same length as a0)
g – the gcd of m0 and m1
l – the length of a0 and of a1

$\begin{split}\begin{aligned} a[0] &== a0[0] == a1[0]\\ a[1:] &== a0[1:] \mod m_0\\ a[1:] &== a1[1:] \mod m_1 \end{aligned}\end{split}$

and False otherwise.

Note

Exponent vectors must agree exactly in the first coordinate.
If exponent vectors are different lengths, an error is raised.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.rings.number_field.S_unit_solver import compatible_vectors_check
sage: a0 = (3, 1, 8, 11)
sage: a1 = (3, 5, 6, 13)

sage.rings.number_field.S_unit_solver.construct_complement_dictionaries(split_primes_list, SUK, verbose=False)¶

A function to construct the complement exponent vector dictionaries.

INPUT:

split_primes_list – a list of rational primes which split completely in the number field $K$
SUK – the $S$ -unit group for a number field $K$
verbose – a boolean to provide additional feedback (default: False)

OUTPUT:

A dictionary of dictionaries. The keys coincide with the primes in split_primes_list For each q, comp_exp_vec[q] is a dictionary whose keys are exponent vectors modulo q-1, and whose values are lists of exponent vectors modulo q-1

If w is an exponent vector in comp_exp_vec[q][v], then the residue field vectors modulo q for v and w sum to [1,1,...,1]

Note

The data of comp_exp_vec will later be lifted to $\mathbb{Z}$ to look for true $S$ -Unit equation solutions.
During construction, the various dictionaries are compared to each other several times to eliminate as many mod $q$ solutions as possible.
The authors acknowledge a helpful discussion with Norman Danner which helped formulate this code.

sage.rings.number_field.S_unit_solver.construct_rfv_to_ev(rfv_dictionary, q, d, verbose=False)¶

Return a reverse lookup dictionary, to find the exponent vectors associated to a given residue field vector.

INPUT:

rfv_dictionary – a dictionary whose keys are exponent vectors and whose values are the associated residue field vectors
q – a prime (assumed to split completely in the relevant number field)
d – the number of primes in $K$ above the rational prime q
verbose – a boolean flag to indicate more detailed output is desired (default: False)

OUTPUT:

A dictionary P whose keys are residue field vectors and whose values are lists of all exponent vectors which correspond to the given residue field vector.

Note

For example, if rfv_dictionary[ e0 ] = r0, then P[ r0 ] is a list which contains e0.
During construction, some residue field vectors can be eliminated as coming from solutions to the $S$ -unit equation. Such vectors are dropped from the keys of the dictionary P.

EXAMPLES:

In this example, we use a truncated list generated when solving the $S$ -unit equation in the case that $K$ is defined by the polynomial $x^2+x+1$ and $S$ consists of the primes above 3:

sage.rings.number_field.S_unit_solver.drop_vector(ev, p, q, complement_ev_dict)¶

Determines if the exponent vector, ev, may be removed from the complement dictionary during construction. This will occur if ev is not compatible with an exponent vector mod q-1.

Note

$n_0$ is the valuation of the coefficient $\alpha_d$ of the $S$ -unit equation such that $|\alpha_d \tau_d|_v = 1$ We have set $n_0 = 0$ here since the coefficients are roots of unity $\alpha_0$ is not defined in the paper, we set it to be 1

sage.rings.number_field.S_unit_solver.sieve_below_bound(K, S, bound=10, bump=10, split_primes_list=[], verbose=False)¶

Return all solutions to the S-unit equation x + y = 1 over K with exponents below the given bound.

INPUT:

K – a number field (an absolute extension of the rationals)
S – a list of finite primes of K
bound – a positive integer upper bound for exponents, solutions with exponents having absolute value below this bound will be found (default: 10)
bump – a positive integer by which the minimum LCM will be increased if not enough split primes are found in sieving step (default: 10)
split_primes_list – a list of rational primes that split completely in the extension K/Q, used for sieving. For complete list of solutions should have lcm of {(p_i-1)} for primes p_i greater than bound (default: [])
verbose – an optional parameter allowing the user to print information during the sieving process (default: False)

OUTPUT:

A list of tuples [( A_1, B_1, x_1, y_1), (A_2, B_2, x_2, y_2), ... ( A_n, B_n, x_n, y_n)] such that:

The first two entries are tuples A_i = (a_0, a_1, ... , a_t) and B_i = (b_0, b_1, ... , b_t) of exponents.
The last two entries are S-units x_i and y_i in K with x_i + y_i = 1.
If the default generators for the S-units of K are (rho_0, rho_1, ... , rho_t), then these satisfy x_i = \prod(rho_i)^(a_i) and y_i = \prod(rho_i)^(b_i).

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.rings.number_field.S_unit_solver import sieve_below_bound, eq_up_to_order
sage: K.<xi> = NumberField(x^2+x+1)
sage: SUK = UnitGroup(K,S=tuple(K.primes_above(3)))
sage: S = SUK.primes()
sage: sols = sieve_below_bound(K, S, 10)
sage: expected = [
....: ((5, -1), (4, -1), 1/3*xi + 2/3, -1/3*xi + 1/3),
....: ((2, 1), (4, 0), xi + 2, -xi - 1),
....: ((2, 0), (1, 1), xi, -xi + 1),
....: ((5, 0), (1, 0), -xi, xi + 1)]
sage: eq_up_to_order(sols, expected)
True

sage.rings.number_field.S_unit_solver.sieve_ordering(SUK, q)¶

Returns ordered data for running sieve on the primes in $SUK$ over the rational prime $q$ .

INPUT:

SUK – the $S$ -unit group of a number field $K$
q – a rational prime number which splits completely in $K$

OUTPUT:

A list of tuples, [ideals_over_q, residue_fields, rho_images, product_rho_orders], where

ideals_over_q is a list of the $d = [K:\mathbb{Q}]$ ideals in $K$ over $q$
residue_fields[i] is the residue field of ideals_over_q[i]
rho_images[i] is a list of the reductions of the generators in of the $S$ -unit group, modulo ideals_over_q[i]
product_rho_orders[i] is the product of the multiplicative orders of the elements in rho_images[i]

Note

The list ideals_over_q is sorted so that the product of orders is smallest for ideals_over_q[0], as this will make the later sieving steps more efficient.
The primes of S must not lie over over q.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.rings.number_field.S_unit_solver import sieve_ordering
sage: K.<xi> = NumberField(x^3 - 3*x + 1)
sage: SUK = K.S_unit_group(S=3)
sage: sieve_data = list(sieve_ordering(SUK, 19))
sage: sieve_data[0]
(Fractional ideal (-2*xi^2 + 3),
Fractional ideal (xi - 3),
Fractional ideal (2*xi + 1))

sage: sieve_data[1]
(Residue field of Fractional ideal (-2*xi^2 + 3),
Residue field of Fractional ideal (xi - 3),
Residue field of Fractional ideal (2*xi + 1))

sage: sieve_data[2]
([18, 9, 16, 8], [18, 7, 10, 4], [18, 3, 12, 10])

sage: sieve_data[3]
(972, 972, 3888)

sage.rings.number_field.S_unit_solver.solutions_from_systems(SUK, bound, cs_list, split_primes_list)¶

Lifts compatible systems to the integers and returns the S-unit equation solutions the lifts yield.

INPUT:

SUK – the group of $S$ -units where we search for solutions
bound – a bound for the entries of all entries of all lifts
cs_list – a list of compatible systems of exponent vectors modulo $q-1$ for

various primes $q$
split_primes_list – a list of primes giving the moduli of the exponent vectors in cs_list

OUTPUT:

A list of solutions to the S-unit equation. Each solution is a list:

an exponent vector over the integers, ev
an exponent vector over the integers, cv
the S-unit corresponding to ev, iota_exp
the S-unit corresponding to cv, iota_comp

Note

Every entry of ev is less than or equal to bound in absolute value
every entry of cv is less than or equal to bound in absolute value
iota_exp + iota_comp == 1

EXAMPLES:

Given a single compatible system, a solution can be found.

sage: from sage.rings.number_field.S_unit_solver import solutions_from_systems
sage: K.<xi> = NumberField(x^2-15)
sage: SUK = K.S_unit_group(S=K.primes_above(2))
sage: split_primes_list = [7, 17]
sage: a_compatible_system = [[[(0, 0, 5), (0, 0, 5)], [(0, 0, 15), (0, 0, 15)]]]
sage: solutions_from_systems( SUK, 20, a_compatible_system, split_primes_list )
[((0, 0, -1), (0, 0, -1), 1/2, 1/2)]

sage.rings.number_field.S_unit_solver.solve_S_unit_equation(K, S, prec=106, include_exponents=True, include_bound=False, proof=None, verbose=False)¶

Return all solutions to the S-unit equation x + y = 1 over K.

INPUT:

K – a number field (an absolute extension of the rationals)
S – a list of finite primes of K
prec – precision used for computations in real, complex, and p-adic fields (default: 106)
include_exponents – whether to include the exponent vectors in the returned value (default: True).
include_bound – whether to return the final computed bound (default: False)
verbose – whether to print information during the sieving step (default: False)

OUTPUT:

A list of tuples [( A_1, B_1, x_1, y_1), (A_2, B_2, x_2, y_2), ... ( A_n, B_n, x_n, y_n)] such that:

The first two entries are tuples A_i = (a_0, a_1, ... , a_t) and B_i = (b_0, b_1, ... , b_t) of exponents. These will be ommitted if include_exponents is False.
The last two entries are S-units x_i and y_i in K with x_i + y_i = 1.
If the default generators for the S-units of K are (rho_0, rho_1, ... , rho_t), then these satisfy x_i = \prod(rho_i)^(a_i) and y_i = \prod(rho_i)^(b_i).

If include_bound, will return a pair (sols, bound) where sols is as above and bound is the bound used for the entries in the exponent vectors.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.rings.number_field.S_unit_solver import solve_S_unit_equation, eq_up_to_order
sage: K.<xi> = NumberField(x^2+x+1)
sage: S = K.primes_above(3)
sage: sols = solve_S_unit_equation(K, S, 200)
sage: expected = [
....: ((2, 1), (4, 0), xi + 2, -xi - 1),
....: ((5, -1), (4, -1), 1/3*xi + 2/3, -1/3*xi + 1/3),
....: ((5, 0), (1, 0), -xi, xi + 1),
....: ((1, 1), (2, 0), -xi + 1, xi)]
sage: eq_up_to_order(sols, expected)
True

In order to see the bound as well use the optional parameter include_bound:

sage: solutions, bound = solve_S_unit_equation(K, S, 100, include_bound=True)
sage: bound
2

You can omit the exponent vectors:

sage: sols = solve_S_unit_equation(K, S, 200, include_exponents=False)
sage: expected = [(xi + 2, -xi - 1), (1/3*xi + 2/3, -1/3*xi + 1/3), (-xi, xi + 1), (-xi + 1, xi)]
sage: set(frozenset(a) for a in sols) == set(frozenset(b) for b in expected)
True

It is an error to use values in S that are not primes in K:

sage: solve_S_unit_equation(K, [3], 200)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: S must consist only of prime ideals, or a single element from which a prime ideal can be constructed.

We check the case that the rank is 0:

sage: K.<xi> = NumberField(x^2+x+1)
sage: solve_S_unit_equation(K, [])
[((1,), (5,), xi + 1, -xi)]

sage.rings.number_field.S_unit_solver.split_primes_large_lcm(SUK, bound)¶

Return a list L of rational primes $q$ which split completely in $K$ and which have desirable properties (see NOTE).

INPUT:

SUK – the $S$ -unit group of an absolute number field $K$ .
bound – a positive integer

OUTPUT:

A list $L$ of rational primes $q$ , with the following properties:

each prime $q$ in $L$ splits completely in $K$
if $Q$ is a prime in $S$ and $q$ is the rational prime below $Q$ , then $q$ is not in $L$
the value lcm { q-1 : q in L } is greater than or equal to 2*bound + 1.

Note

A series of compatible exponent vectors for the primes in $L$ will lift to at most one integer exponent vector whose entries $a_i$ satisfy $|a_i|$ is less than or equal to bound.
The ordering of this set is not very intelligent for the purposes of the later sieving processes.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.rings.number_field.S_unit_solver import split_primes_large_lcm
sage: K.<xi> = NumberField(x^3 - 3*x + 1)
sage: S = K.primes_above(3)
sage: SUK = UnitGroup(K,S=tuple(S))
sage: split_primes_large_lcm(SUK, 200)
[17, 19, 37, 53]

With a tiny bound, SAGE may ask you to increase the bound.

sage: from sage.rings.number_field.S_unit_solver import split_primes_large_lcm
sage: K.<xi> = NumberField(x^2 + 163)
sage: SUK = UnitGroup(K, S=tuple(K.primes_above(23)))
sage: split_primes_large_lcm(SUK, 8)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: Not enough split primes found. Increase bound.
