Matrix arithmetic over small finite fields, implementing the meataxe algorithm for modular representation theory. Part of the passagemath ecosystem. Current version 10.8.4, requires Python >=3.11 and <3.15. Release cadence follows passagemath releases.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

all__sagemath_meataxe
✓ from sage import all__sagemath_meataxe
✗ from passagemath.meataxe import Meataxe

Basic usage: create a matrix over GF(2) and compute its rank.

from passagemath.meataxe import Meataxe # Create a matrix over GF(2) m = Meataxe(2, [[1,0],[0,1]]) print(m.rank())

Known issues
breakingpassagemath-meataxe 10.x is a standalone package, not part of SageMath. Import paths changed from sage.* to passagemath.*
fix
Use 'from passagemath.meataxe import ...' instead of 'from sage.all import ...'
affects: 10.x
gotchaThe meataxe algorithm only works over small finite fields (characteristic 2,3,5,7,11,13). Attempting with other fields raises an error.
fix
Check your field is in the supported list before calling meataxe operations.
affects: all
deprecatedFunctions named 'new_random_matrix' and 'new_irreducible_matrix' are deprecated in favor of 'random_matrix' and 'irreducible_matrix'.
fix
Use 'random_matrix' and 'irreducible_matrix'.
affects: >=10.4
gotchaMatrix elements must be integers (0 to q-1) within the field; using Python ints is mandatory. Passing elements from other packages (e.g., SageMath's FiniteField elements) may cause silent conversion errors.
fix
Convert field elements to plain ints before constructing a meataxe matrix.
affects: all
