  [1XC.1-1 ShrinkVec[101X
  
  [29X[2XShrinkVec[102X( [3Xf1[103X, [3Xf2[103X, [3Xv[103X, [3Xbasis[103X ) [32X operation
  [29X[2XShrinkVec[102X( [3Xf1[103X, [3Xf2[103X, [3Xv[103X ) [32X operation
  [6XReturns:[106X  [33X[0;10Ya vector[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YThe  argument [3Xf2[103X is a subfield of [3Xf1[103X and v is vector in a vectorspace [22XV[122X over
  [3Xf2[103X.  The  second  flavour  Returns  return  the  vector of length [22Xd/t[122X, where
  [22Xd=dim(V)[122X,   and   [22Xt=[f1:f2][122X.  The  first  flavour  uses  the  natural  basis
  [11XBasis(AsVectorSpace(f2,f1))[111X.  It  is not checked whether [3Xf2[103X is a subfield of
  [3Xf1[103X,  but it is checked whether the lengt of [3Xv[103X is a multiple of the degree of
  the field extension.[133X
  
  [1XC.1-2 ShrinkMat[101X
  
  [29X[2XShrinkMat[102X( [3Xbasis[103X, [3Xmatrix[103X ) [32X operation
  [29X[2XShrinkMat[102X( [3Xf1[103X, [3Xf2[103X, [3Xmatrix[103X ) [32X operation
  [6XReturns:[106X  [33X[0;10Ya matrix[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YLet  [22XK[122X be the field [22XGF(q)[122X and let [22XL[122X be the field [22XGF(q^t)[122X. Asumme that [22XB[122X is a
  basis  for  [22XL[122X as [22XK[122X vector space. Let A=(a<sub>ij </sub>) be a matrix over [22XL[122X.
  The  result  of  [11XBlownUpMat(B,A)[111X  is  the matrix [22XM=(m_ij)[122X , where each entry
  [22Xa=a_ij[122X is replaced by the [22Xt × t[122X matrix [22XM_a[122X , representing the linear map [22Xx ↦
  ax[122X  with  respect  to  the basis [22XB[122X. This means that if [22XB={b_1,b_2,...,b_t}[122X ,
  then  row  [22Xj[122X  is  the row of the [22Xt[122X coefficients of [22Xab_j[122X with resepect to the
  basis  [22XB[122X.  The operation [11XShrinkMat[111X implements the converse of [11XBlownUpMat[111X. It
  is  checked if the input is a blown up matrix as follows. Let [22XA[122X be a [22Xtm × tn[122X
  matrix.  For  each [22Xt × t[122X block, say [22XM[122X, we need to check that the set [22X{b_i^-1
  ∑_j=1^t  m_ij b_j: i ∈ {1,..,t}}[122X . has size one, since the unique element in
  that case is the element [22Xa ∈ L[122X represented as a linear map by M with respect
  to the basis [22XB[122X.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YThe  first  flavour  of  this  operation  requires  a  given  basis as first
  argument.  The second flavour requires a field [3Xf1[103X and a subfield [3Xf2[103X as first
  two  arguments  and calls the first flavour with [11XBasis(AsVectorSpace(f2,f1))[111X
  as basis. It is not checked whether [3Xf2[103X is a subfield of [3Xf1[103X.[133X

  [6XReturns:[106X  [33X[0;10Ya projective space[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YLet  [3Xbasis[103X  be  a  basis  of  the  field [22XGF(q^t)[122X that is an extension of the
  basefield  of  the  [22Xr-1[122X  dimensional  projective  space  [3Xpg1[103X. This operation
  returns  the  [22Xrt-1[122X dimensional projective space over [22XGF(q)[122X. The basis itself
  is only used to determine the field [22XGF(q^t)[122X.[133X

  basefield of [3Xpg[103X over the [3Xsubfield[103X.[133X

  [6XReturns:[106X  [33X[0;10Ya subspace of a projective space[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YThe  first flavour blows up a [3Xsubspace[103X of a projective space with respect to
  the  [3Xbasis[103X  using  field  reduction and returns a subspace of the projective
  space obtained from blowing up the ambient projective space of [3Xsubspace[103X with
  respect to [3Xbasis[103X using field reduction. This operation relies on [11XBlownUpMat[111X.[133X

  [33X[0;0YChecks wether the [3Xsubspace[103X is a subspace which is obtained from a blowing up
  a projective point using field reduction with respect to [3Xbasis[103X.[133X
  
  
  [1XC.2 [33X[0;0YField reduction and forms[133X[101X
  
  [33X[0;0YThe  embedding  of polar spaces by field reduction is explained in detail in
  Section [14X10.5-3[114X, and relies on the following three operations.[133X

  argument.  No  checks  are  performed  in  this case. It returns the plucker
  coordinates  of  the  argument  as list of finite field elements. The second
  operation  is  the  inverse  of the first. No check is performed whether the
  argument  represents  a  point  of  the  correct  hyperbolic  quadric.  Both
  operations are to be used internally only.[133X
