Restricting cyclic representations of additive automorphisms #
A homomorphism χ : C_n → C_m sending the selected generator to its d-th power
restricts the cyclic representation of A to one whose generator acts by A^d.
An additive map intertwining A^d with B therefore gives a morphism from the
restricted representation of A to the cyclic representation of B.
AddMonoidHom.cyclicRepResHom constructs this morphism from the generator equation,
without requiring equivariance to be supplied separately for every group element.
It permits the degree-one partial norms, degree-two classes, and connecting classes
of cyclic representations to be compared under arbitrary homomorphisms of cyclic groups.

An additive map intertwining A^d with B is equivariant from the restriction of the
cyclic representation of A along χ to that of B, when χ sends the generator to
its d-th power. Neither injectivity nor surjectivity of χ is required.
Instances For
On underlying groups the morphism induced by f is f. The coercion is stated on
intertwining maps, so simplification also recognizes evaluations with restricted instances.
