LieAlgebras[SubRepresentation] - find the induced representation on an invariant subspace of the representation space

Calling Sequences

     SubRepresentation(S, W)

Parameters

            - a representation of a Lie algebra  on a vector space

     S       - a list of vectors in whose span defines a -invariant subspace of 

     W       - a Maple name or string, giving the frame name for the representation space for the subrepresentation

 

Description

Examples

Description

• 

If  is a representation of a Lie algebra  on a vector space , then is a -invariant subspace of if for all  and . 

• 

The command SubRepresentation(S,W) returns the representation  of  on the vector space defined by  =, where  and .

Examples

 

Example 1.

We shall define a 4-dimensional representation of a 4-dimensional Lie algebra taken from the DifferentialGeometry Library, find an invariant subspace  of , and calculate the subrepresentation of  on .
