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
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.
