<h3>65 <span class="Heading">Magma Rings</span></h3>
<p>Given a magma <span class="SimpleMath">M</span> then the <em>free magma ring</em> (or <em>magma ring</em> for short) <span class="SimpleMath">RM</span> of <span class="SimpleMath">M</span> over a ring-with-one <span class="SimpleMath">R</span> is the set of finite sums <span class="SimpleMath">∑_{i ∈ I} r_i m_i</span> with <span class="SimpleMath">r_i ∈ R</span>, and <span class="SimpleMath">m_i ∈ M</span>. With the obvious addition and <span class="SimpleMath">R</span>-action from the left, <span class="SimpleMath">RM</span> is a free <span class="SimpleMath">R</span>-module with <span class="SimpleMath">R</span>-basis <span class="SimpleMath">M</span>, and with the usual convolution product, <span class="SimpleMath">RM</span> is a ring.</p>
<p>Typical examples of free magma rings are</p>
<ul>
<li><p>(multivariate) polynomial rings (see <a href="chap66.html#X7C59471783C3FEDC"><span class="RefLink">66.15</span></a>), where the magma is a free abelian monoid generated by the indeterminates,</p>
</li>
<li><p>group rings (see <code class="func">IsGroupRing</code> (<a href="chap65.html#X82C63644805EB1EE"><span class="RefLink">65.1-5</span></a>)), where the magma is a group,</p>
</li>
<li><p>Laurent polynomial rings, which are group rings of the free abelian groups generated by the indeterminates,</p>
</li>
<li><p>free algebras and free associative algebras, with or without one, where the magma is a free magma or a free semigroup, or a free magma-with-one or a free monoid, respectively.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Note that formally, polynomial rings in <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> are not constructed as free magma rings.</p>
<p>Furthermore, a free Lie algebra is <em>not</em> a magma ring, because of the additional relations given by the Jacobi identity; see <a href="chap65.html#X81B002EE799B5E77"><span class="RefLink">65.4</span></a> for a generalization of magma rings that covers such structures.</p>
<p>The coefficient ring <span class="SimpleMath">R</span> and the magma <span class="SimpleMath">M</span> cannot be regarded as subsets of <span class="SimpleMath">RM</span>, hence the natural <em>embeddings</em> of <span class="SimpleMath">R</span> and <span class="SimpleMath">M</span> into <span class="SimpleMath">RM</span> must be handled via explicit embedding maps (see <a href="chap65.html#X80366F1480ACD8DF"><span class="RefLink">65.3</span></a>). Note that in a magma ring, the addition of elements is in general different from an addition that may be defined already for the elements of the magma; for example, the addition in the group ring of a matrix group does in general <em>not</em> coincide with the addition of matrices.</p>

<p>A domain lies in the category <code class="func">IsFreeMagmaRing</code> if it has been constructed as a free magma ring. In particular, if <var class="Arg">D</var> lies in this category then the operations <code class="func">LeftActingDomain</code> (<a href="chap57.html#X86F070E0807DC34E"><span class="RefLink">57.1-11</span></a>) and <code class="func">UnderlyingMagma</code> (<a href="chap65.html#X848D60417DFF7947"><span class="RefLink">65.1-6</span></a>) are applicable to <var class="Arg">D</var>, and yield the ring <span class="SimpleMath">R</span> and the magma <span class="SimpleMath">M</span> such that <var class="Arg">D</var> is the magma ring <span class="SimpleMath">RM</span>.</p>
<p>So being a magma ring in <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> includes the knowledge of the ring and the magma. Note that a magma ring <span class="SimpleMath">RM</span> may abstractly be generated as a magma ring by a magma different from the underlying magma <span class="SimpleMath">M</span>. For example, the group ring of the dihedral group of order <span class="SimpleMath">8</span> over the field with <span class="SimpleMath">3</span> elements is also spanned by a quaternion group of order <span class="SimpleMath">8</span> over the same field.</p>

<h4>65.4 <span class="Heading">Magma Rings modulo Relations</span></h4>
<p>A more general construction than that of free magma rings allows one to create rings that are not free <span class="SimpleMath">R</span>-modules on a given magma <span class="SimpleMath">M</span> but arise from the magma ring <span class="SimpleMath">RM</span> by factoring out certain identities. Examples for such structures are finitely presented (associative) algebras and free Lie algebras (see <code class="func">FreeLieAlgebra</code> (<a href="chap64.html#X7F7B34BD80F0F1C8"><span class="RefLink">64.2-4</span></a>)).</p>
<p>In <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong>, the use of magma rings modulo relations is limited to situations where a normal form of the elements is known and where one wants to guarantee that all elements actually constructed are in normal form. (In particular, the computation of the normal form must be cheap.) This is because the methods for comparing elements in magma rings modulo relations via <code class="code">\=</code> and <code class="code">\<</code> just compare the involved coefficients and magma elements, and also the vector space functions regard those monomials as linearly independent over the coefficients ring that actually occur in the representation of an element of a magma ring modulo relations.</p>
<p>Thus only very special finitely presented algebras will be represented as magma rings modulo relations, in general finitely presented algebras are dealt with via the mechanism described in Chapter <a href="chap63.html#X85A22A8286596D02"><span class="RefLink">63</span></a>.</p>

<p>There is <em>no</em> generic <em>external representation</em> for elements in an arbitrary free magma ring. For example, polynomials are elements of a free magma ring, and they have an external representation relying on the special form of the underlying monomials. On the other hand, elements in a group ring of a permutation group do not admit such an external representation.</p>
<p>For convenience, magma rings constructed with <code class="func">FreeAlgebra</code> (<a href="chap62.html#X83484C917D8F7A1A"><span class="RefLink">62.3-1</span></a>), <code class="func">FreeAssociativeAlgebra</code> (<a href="chap62.html#X87835FFE79D2E068"><span class="RefLink">62.3-3</span></a>), <code class="func">FreeAlgebraWithOne</code> (<a href="chap62.html#X7FBD04B07B85623D"><span class="RefLink">62.3-2</span></a>), and <code class="func">FreeAssociativeAlgebraWithOne</code> (<a href="chap62.html#X845A777584A7D711"><span class="RefLink">62.3-4</span></a>) support an external representation of their elements, which is defined as a list of length 2, the first entry being the zero coefficient, the second being a list with the external representations of the magma elements at the odd positions and the corresponding coefficients at the even positions.</p>
<p>As the above examples show, there are several possible representations of magma ring elements, the representations used for polynomials (see Chapter <a href="chap66.html#X7A14A6588268810A"><span class="RefLink">66</span></a>) as well as the default representation <code class="func">IsMagmaRingObjDefaultRep</code> (<a href="chap65.html#X827B2D7D7E41780C"><span class="RefLink">65.2-1</span></a>) of magma ring elements. The latter simply stores the zero coefficient and a list containing the coefficients of the element at the even positions and the corresponding magma elements at the odd positions, where the succession is compatible with the ordering of magma elements via <code class="code">\<</code>.</p>
