isSeminormal -- checks if a ring is seminormal

Synopsis

• Usage:

  b = isSeminormal(R)

• Inputs:
  • R, a ring,
• Outputs:
  • b, a Boolean value, true if the ring is seminormal

Description

i1 : R = QQ[x,y]/ideal(y^2 - x^3);

i2 : isSeminormal(R)

o2 = false

i3 : S = ZZ/5[a,b]/ideal(a^2-b^2+a^3)

o3 = S

o3 : QuotientRing

i4 : isSeminormal(R)

o4 = false
