The eight files mentioned at the end of this page give all S polynomials needed for the paper Groebner basis for the 2X2 determinantal ideal mod t^2 (hereafter refered to as the paper). The following instructions may help decipher the data files:

  1. Each file contains all possible pairs of S polynomials S(\alpha,\beta), \alpha from the first family, \beta from the second family.
  2. All notation is as in the paper.
  3. The data for a particular S(\alpha,\beta) is demarcated by ----------------------------------
  4. The first pieces of data for a particular S polynomial S(\alpha,\beta) are simply  the polynomials  \alpha and \beta.
  5. In the cases where the S polynomials are not relatively prime, the following is the sequence of data written to the file after \alpha and \beta:
    1. Lead term of the S-polynomial.
    2. The first divisor \gamma (from the family \mathcal H).
    3. The quotient f_{\gamma}.
    4. The lead term of the product f_{\gamma} \gamma (to be compared against the lead term of the S polynomial.
    5. ..and so on, to the last divisor, the last quotient, and the lead term of the last product f_{\gamma} \gamma (so that in the end, S(\alpha,\beta) should equal sum_{\gamma} f_{\gamma} \gamma).
    6. A confirmation that the difference S(\alpha,\beta) - sum_{\gamma} f_{\gamma} \gamma is zero.
    7. A confirmation that for each gamma, lead (f_{\gamma} \gamma) was less than lead(S-polynomial).
    8. The formula for the S-polynomial
    9. Rewrite: this is the expanded form of  sum_{\gamma} f_{\gamma} \gamma
    10. The final equality S(\alpha,\beta) = sum_{\gamma} f_{\gamma} \gamma in a form suitable for export to TeX: Here, the nonstandard macros \del, \eps and \lam are simply short forms of \delta, \epsilon, and \lambda.

The following are the eight files:
  1.  S(\Delta,\Epsilon)
  2. S(\Delta,\Rho)
  3. S(\Delta,\Lambda)
  4. S(\Epsilon,\Epsilon)
  5. S(\Epsilon,\Rho)
  6. S(\Epsilon,\Lambda)
  7. S(\Epsilon,\Psi)
  8. S(\Rho,\Lambda) Warning: this is a huge file!
