QaoS - Querying Algebraic Objects System new
- QaoS is the successor of Kate, the Kant Database of Number Fields.
- It has been entirely redesigned to fulfil modern demands for accessing large
amounts of pre-computed algebraic data, both comfortably and fast.
- Its modular design promises scalability and extensibilty.
-
QaoS was implemented under the aspect to establish a common gateway to an
algebraic database via web-browsers and computer algebra systems, such as
KASH, Magma and GAP.
- QaoS is intended to provide data for:
- QaoS is currently keyword driven,
but we soon plan to offer other comfortable query search methods
Qaos Web Interface
Query QaoS
using the web interface.
Accessing QaoS from Computer Algebra Systems
The acess of QaoS from computer algebra systems makes it possible to
process the data from Qaos in the systems immediately. The packages for
all systems require that you have curl installed.
- KASH: KASH 2.56 has
the build in functions
QaosNumberField and QaosTransitiveGroup.
You can pick it up from our download page or
by ftp.
- KASH3 will have the build-in functions
QaosNumberField,
QaosTransitiveGroup,
QaosFunctionField
for accessing QaoS.
- GAP4:
The
GAP package qaos offers access functions to QaoS.
The latest version can be found here
(README).
- Maple:
The
Maple package QaoS
offers access to the QaoS databases of number fields and transitive groups, see the
installation instructions and a
sample session.
The latest version can be found here.
Note that the query syntax for all access methods (WWW, KASH3, GAP, Maple) is the same.
