GroupActions[IsotropyFiltration] - find the infinitesimal isotropy filtration for a Lie algebra of vector fields

Calling Sequences

     IsotropyFiltration(Gamma, pt, option)

Parameters

  Gamma     - a list of vector fields on a manifold

  pt        - a list of equations  specifying the coordinates of point

  option    - the optional argument output = O, where O is a list containing the keywords "Vector" and/or the name of an initialized abstract algebra for the Lie algebra of vector fields Gamma.

Description

• 

Let be a Lie algebra of vector fields on a manifold  and letThe isotropy filtration of  the  Lie algebra of vector fields is the decreasing nested sequence of subalgebras  defined by

 {  the coefficients of and their derivatives all vanish to order at  }.

Note that if and , then .  The subalgebra is called the isotropy subalgebra of at .

• 

 The command IsotropyFiltration(Gamma, pt) returns a list of list of vector fields, the first list gives a basis for the second list gives a basis for  and so on.

• 

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

Examples

 

Example 1.

First we obtain a Lie algebra of vector fields from the paper by Gonzalez-Lopez, Kamran, Olver in the DifferentialGeometry Library using the Retrieve command and then we compute the isotropy filtration.

(2.2)

 

We calculate the isotropy filtration as a subalgebra of .

Example 2.

We continue with Example 1. Here we calculate the isotropy filtration as a subalgebra of the abstract Lie algebra defined by . To this end, we first calculate the structure constants for and initialize the result as Alg1.

Now re-run the IsotropyFiltration command with the third argument output = [Alg1].

(2.5)

 

We check that F does indeed define a filtration of the Lie algebra (note that there is an index shift   = F[k+1]).
