LieAlgebras[DirectSumOfRepresentations] - form the direct sum representation for a list of representations of a Lie algebra

Calling Sequences

     DirectSumOfRepresentations(R, W)

Parameters

     R         - a list of representations ρ1, ρ2, ... of a Lie algebra 𝔤 on vector spaces V1, V2, ... .

     W         - a Maple name or string, the name of the frame for the representation space for the direct sum representation

 

Description

Examples

Description

• 

 Let 𝔤 be a Lie algebra and let ρi : 𝔤 → Vi , i = 1, 2, ...,  p be a sequence of representations of 𝔤. Then the direct sum representation of the representationsρi is the representation σ : 𝔤 → W, where W = V1⊕V2 ⊕⋅⋅⋅⊕ Vp  and

σxY  = ρ1xY1 + ρ2xY2 +⋅⋅⋅+ ρpxYp   for  Y = Y1 + Y2 + ⋅⋅⋅ + Yp with Yi ∈Vi.

• 

The command DirectSumOfRepresentations(R, W) returns the representation σ.
