LieAlgebras[JacobsonRadical] - find the Jacobson radical for a matrix Lie algebra
Calling Sequences
JacobsonRadical(M)
Parameters
M - a list of square matrices which define a basis for a matrix Lie algebra A
Description
The Jacobson radical of a matrix algebra A is the set of matrices b in A such that tr(ab) = 0 for all a in A. The Jacobson radical consists entirely of nilpotent matrices and coincides with the nilradical of A.
A list of matrices defining a basis for the Jacobson radical is returned. If the Jacobson radical is trivial, then an empty list is returned.
The command JacobsonRadical is part of the DifferentialGeometry:-LieAlgebras package. It can be used in the form JacobsonRadical(...) only after executing the commands with(DifferentialGeometry) and with(LieAlgebras), but can always be used by executing DifferentialGeometry:-LieAlgebras:-JacobsonRadical(...).
Examples
Example 1.
Find the Jacobson radical of the set of matrices M.
Clearly each one of these matrices is nilpotent.
Note that J = [M[2], M[4], M[5]]. We check that J is also the nilradical of M, when viewed as an abstract Lie algebra.
