| ##### 7.7.15.0. superCommutative Procedure from library `nctools.lib` (see nctools_lib). Usage: superCommutative([b,[e, [Q]]]); Return: qring Purpose: create a super-commutative algebra (as a GR-algebra) over a basering, Note: activate this qring with the "setring" command. Note: if b==e then the resulting ring is commutative. By default, `b=1, e=nvars(basering), Q=0`. Theory: given a basering, this procedure introduces the anti-commutative relations var(j)var(i)=-var(i)var(j) for all e>=j>i>=b and creates the quotient of the anti-commutative algebra modulo the two-sided ideal, generated by x(b)^2, ..., x(e)^2[ + Q] Display: If `printlevel` > 1, warning debug messages will be printed Example:
