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

Calling Sequences

     SubRepresentation(ρ,S, W)

Parameters

     ρ       - a representation of a Lie algebra 𝔤 on a vector space V

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

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

 

Description

Examples

Description

• 

If ρ: 𝔤 → glV is a representation of a Lie algebra 𝔤 on a vector space V, then S is a ρ-invariant subspace of V if ρxY ∈ S for all x ∈ 𝔤 and Y∈ S. 

• 

The command SubRepresentation(ρ,S,W) returns the representation φ of 𝔤 on the vector space S defined by φxy =ρxY, where x ∈ 𝔤 and Y ∈ S.

Example 1.

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