IsTrivial( obj)

Parameters

obj

-

a KF object that is constructed by the method KillingForm.

Description

• 

Let K be the Killing form of a LAVF object L. Then IsTrivial(K) checks if the Killing form of L is trivial (i.e. KX,Y=0 for all vector fields X,Y solving L).

• 

This method is associated with the local KF object. For more detail, see Overview of the KF object for more detail.
