Teaching Math to Lady M

Abstract : I stopped teaching logic and math to humans. Instead I started to teach logic / math to Lady M, a machine. She (or he or it) has absolutely no insight and I enjoy that she does not expect that what I am telling her has any meaning (semantics). For certain input expressions she produces certain output. Very reliably, for the same input the same output.
By certain input, her inner state changes and she her input / output behavior changes.
Recently, after many layers of communication, I managed to make her behave the way I
behaved when, as a PhD student, I invented the Gröbner bases algorithm. I.e. I taught her to invent mathematical algorithms and proofs. Of course, she does not know.

I am not sure how far I managed to carry this approach consistently through.
In the talk, I will display certain stages of this program for discussion.

Characteristic Decomposition of Polynomial Sets

Abstract: Let G be a reduced lexicographic Groebner basis. A polynomial g in G is said to be minimal if g
has the lowest order among all those polynomials in G which have the same leading variable as g. The
minimal polynomials in G form a triangular set, called the W-characteristic set of G or of the ideal
generated by G. G is said to be normal if for every minimal polynomial g in G, the initial of g does not involve the leading variable of any other polynomial in G. We show that there are inherent conncections
between Ritt characteristic sets and lexicographic Groebner bases, normal Groebner bases and their
W-characteristic sets possess a number of interesting properties, and any polynomial set can be
decomposed into finitely many normal Groebner bases with associated zero relations.
The decomposition algorithm is based on the structural properties we have established and the
computation of lexicographic Groebner bases. We discuss briefly the implementation of our decomposition algorithm with some experiments. Part of the word presented in this talk was done jointly with Rina Dong and Chenqi Mou.
