Calling Sequence

IsFlat( obj, order = n)

Parameters

obj

-

a LAVF object that is a Lie algebra i.e.IsLieAlgebra(obj) returns true, see IsLieAlgebra.

Description

• 

Let L be a LAVF object which is a Lie algebra. Then IsFlat method returns the Killing form of L, as a KF Maple object.

• 

The returned KF object is for representing the Killing form. A valid KF object can act as a symmetric bilinear operator form and has access to some methods. See Overview of the KF object for more detail.

• 

The input argument LAVF object L is assumed to be Lie algebra (i.e. closed under Lie bracket). To check if a LAVF object is Lie algebra, see IsLieAlgebra for more detail.

• 

This method is associated with the LAVF object. For more detail, see Overview of the LAVF object.
