LieAlgebras[RestrictedRepresentation] - find the restriction of a representation of a subalgebra

Calling Sequences

     RestrictedRepresentation(ρ, alg,W)

Parameters

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

     alg       - a Maple name or string, giving the frame name of an initialized algebra, corresponding to a subalgebra of 𝔤

     H         - (optional) a list of vectors in 𝔤 defining a basis for a subalgebra of 𝔤

 

Description

Examples

Description

• 

If ρ:𝔤  glV is a representation and 𝔥 is a subalgebra of 𝔤 , then the restriction of ρ to 𝔥 is the representation φ:𝔥  glV defined by φxY =ρxY, where x  𝔥 and Y  V. 

• 

The command RestrictedRepresentation(rho, alg, H) returns the restriction of the representation ρ to the subalgebra defined by the vectors in the list H. The subalgebra defined by the vectors H must be initialized as a Lie algebra in its own right with the name alg.

• 

If the basis e1, e2 ,e3, ... , en  for 𝔤 is adapted to the subalgebra defined by H in the sense that H = [e1, e2 ,... ,ep ], then the list H need not be specified in the calling sequence for RestrictedRepresentation.

Example 1.

We shall define a 4-dimensional representation ρ of a 4-dimensional Lie algebra taken from the DifferentialGeometry Library, define a subalgebra, and calculate the restricted representation of ρ to the subalgebra..
