IsFlat - Maple Help

IsFlat

check if the torsion of an infinite-dimensional LAVF is removable.

 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.
