LieAlgebras[MasseyProduct] - calculate the Massey product of a pair of forms
Calling Sequences
MasseyProduct(
Parameters
- a -form defined on a Lie algebra with coefficients in
Description
Examples
The Massey product of a pair of forms and is the 3-form defined by
.
In general, if and then the Massey product is the form defined by
+ cyclic permutations.
The Massey product plays an important role in the construction of the deformations of a Lie algebra.
Example 1.
First initialize a Lie algebra from a list of structure equations.
We define the adjoint representation and use this to construct the corresponding Lie algebra with coefficients.
Here is a pair of 2-forms on and their Massey product.
Here is a pair of 3-forms on and their Massey product.
