Calculate symplectic bases for matrices over fields and the integers.#
This module finds a symplectic basis for an anti-symmetric, alternating matrix M defined over a field or the integers.
Anti-symmetric means that \(M = -M^t\), where \(M^t\) denotes the transpose of \(M\). Alternating means that the diagonal of \(M\) is identically zero.
A symplectic basis is a basis of the form \(e_1, \ldots, e_j, f_1, \ldots, f_j, z_1, \ldots, z_k\) such that
\(z_i M v^t\) = 0 for all vectors \(v\);
\(e_i M {e_j}^t = 0\) for all \(i, j\);
\(f_i M {f_j}^t = 0\) for all \(i, j\);
\(e_i M {f_j}^t = 0\) for all \(i\) not equal \(j\);
and such that the non-zero terms
\(e_i M {f_i}^t\) are “as nice as possible”: 1 over fields, or integers satisfying divisibility properties otherwise.

The routine over the integers applies over general principal ideal domains.
Warning
This code is not a good candidate for conversion to Cython. The
majority of the execution time is spent adding multiples of
columns and rows, which is already fast. It would be better to
devise a better algorithm, perhaps modular or based on a fast
smith_form implementation.

Find a symplectic basis for an anti-symmetric, alternating matrix M defined over the integers.
Returns a pair (F, C) such that the rows of C form a symplectic basis for M and F = C * M * C.transpose().
Anti-symmetric means that \(M = -M^t\). Alternating means that the diagonal of \(M\) is identically zero.
A symplectic basis is a basis of the form \(e_1, \ldots, e_j, f_1, \ldots, f_j, z_1, \ldots, z_k\) such that
\(z_i M v^t\) = 0 for all vectors \(v\);
\(e_i M {e_j}^t = 0\) for all \(i, j\);
\(f_i M {f_j}^t = 0\) for all \(i, j\);
\(e_i M {f_i}^t = d_i\) for all \(i\), where d_i are positive integers such that \(d_{i} | d_{i+1}\) for all \(i\);
\(e_i M {f_j}^t = 0\) for all \(i\) not equal \(j\).
The ordering for the factors \(d_{i} | d_{i+1}\) and for the placement of zeroes was chosen to agree with the output of
smith_form.See the examples for a pictorial description of such a basis.

Find a symplectic basis for an anti-symmetric, alternating matrix M defined over a field.
Returns a pair (F, C) such that the rows of C form a symplectic basis for M and
