LieAlgebras[MatrixNormalizer] - find the matrix normalizer of a list of matrices

Calling Sequences

     MatrixNormalizer(M, A)

Parameters

     M   - a list of square matrices, each of the same dimension

     A   - (optional) a list of square matrices, each of the same dimension, containing the matrices M, and forming a Lie algebra

 

 

Description

Examples

Description

• 

The normalizer of a set of matrices M contained in a Lie algebra of matrices A is the Lie algebra of matrices norAM = {a ∈ A |  a⋅b − b⋅a ∈M for all b ∈M}. When M is a Lie algebra, norAMis an ideal in A. 

• 

A list of matrices defining a basis for the normalizer of M is returned.

• 

For the first calling sequence the normalizer of M is calculated in the Lie algebra of all n ×n matrices, where n is the row dimension of the matrices in M.

• 

The command MatrixNormalizer is part of the DifferentialGeometry:-LieAlgebras package. It can be used in the form MatrixNormalizer(...) only after executing the commands with(DifferentialGeometry) and with(LieAlgebras), but can always be used by executing DifferentialGeometry:-LieAlgebras:-MatrixNormalizer(...).
