This note describes a \emph{Macaulay2} package for computations in prime characteristic commutative algebra. This includes Frobenius powers and roots, $p^{-e}$-linear and $p^{e}$-linear maps, singularities defined in terms of these maps, different types of test ideals and modules, and ideals compatible with a given $p^{-e}$-linear map.
The properties of the intersection algebra of two principal monomial ideals in a polynomial ring are investigated in detail. Results are obtained regarding the Hilbert series and the canonical ideal of the intersection algebra using methods from the theory of diophantine linear equations with integer coefficients.
We study the finite generation of the intersection algebra of two principal ideals I and J in a unique factorization domain R. We provide an algorithm that produces a list of generators of this algebra over R. In the special case that R is a polynomial ring, this algorithm has been implemented in the commutative algebra software system Macaulay2. A new class of algebras, called fan algebras, is introduced.
