isHomologyAlgebraTrivial -- Determines if the homology algebra of a DGAlgebra is trivial

Synopsis

Description

This function computes the homology algebra of the DGAlgebra A and determines if the multiplication on H(A) is trivial.

o1 = R

o5 = true

The command returns true since R --> S is Golod. Notice we also used the option GenDegreeLimit here.

Computing generators in degree 4 :      -- used 0.0121387 seconds

o8 = false

The command returns false, since R is Gorenstein, and so HA has Poincare Duality, hence the multiplication is far from trivial.
