LieAlgebras[QuotientRepresentation] - find the induced representation defined on the quotient space of the representation space by an invariant subspace
Calling Sequences
QuotientRepresentation(ρ, S, C, 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
C - a list of vectors in V defining a complementary subspace to S
W - a Maple name or string, giving the frame name for the representation space for the quotient representation
Description
Examples
If ρ:𝔤 →glV is a representation and S is a subspace of V, then S is ρ invariant if ρxY ∈ S for all x ∈𝔤 and Y ∈ S. For any Y∈ V,let Y = Y + S denote the coset of Y in the quotient space V/S. The induced representation ρ‾:𝔤 →glV/S is defined
by ρ‾xY = ρxY.
The command QuotientRepresentation(rho, S, C, W) returns the representation ρ‾. The coset representatives of the vectors in C in the quotient space V/S give the basis used to calculate the matrices for the linear transformation ρ‾.

true
Pick a complement C=span[Dx2, Dx3, Dx4].This complement need not be invariant.
