Query[Filtration] - check if a list of subspaces defines a decreasing filtration of a Lie algebra

Calling Sequences

     Query([f0, f1, ..., fN], "Filtration")

Parameters

     f0, f1,     - a list of independent vectors defining subspaces of a Lie algebra

 

Description

Examples

Description

• 

A collection of subspaces    of a Lie algebra  defines a decreasing filtration of  if  [i]   for , [ii]  for  and [iii] for .

• 

Query([f0, f1, ... fN], "Filtration") returns true if the subspaces   define a decreasing filtration of the Lie algebra and false otherwise.

• 

The command Query is part of the DifferentialGeometry:-LieAlgebras package.  It can be used in the form Query(...) only after executing the commands with(DifferentialGeometry) and with(LieAlgebras), but can always be used by executing DifferentialGeometry:-LieAlgebras:-Query(...).

Examples

 

Example 1.

First we initialize a Lie algebra.

(2.1)

 

Now define a sequence of 4 subspaces.

Alg1 > 

 

We check that this sequence of Lie algebras defines a decreasing filtration.

(2.2)

 

Example 2.

Here's an example which does not define a filtration. To see the specific brackets which fail to satisfy the filtration definition, we set the infolevel for Query to 2.

Alg1 > 

bracket of subspaces with weights 0 and 0 is [2*e1, e2, e2+e3]

bracket of subspaces with weights 0 and 1 is [-e1, -e2]
bracket of subspaces with weights 0 and 2 is [-e1, -e2]

(2.3)
Alg1 > 

 

This shows that the Lie bracket is not contained in
