RingQQt    --    pre-defined polynomial rings


Syntax 
RingQQt(N: INT): RING

Description
This function returns a polynomial ring over QQ with indeterminates t[1]...t[N]. In particular RingQQt(1) is the polynomial ring in which Hilbert polynomials are defined.

NOTE: calling RingQQt(2) twice gives the same identical ring, whereas calling NewPolyRing(QQ, "t[1],t[2]"); returns each time a new ring (therefore incompatible).

Example 
/**/  QQt := RingQQt(3);  use QQt;
/**/  (t[1]+1)^3;
t[1]^3 +3*t[1]^2 +3*t[1] +1
/**/  indets(RingQQt(1));
[t]
/**/  indets(RingQQt(5));
[t[1], t[2], t[3], t[4], t[5]]
