Query[ReductivePair] - check if a subalgebra, subspace pair defines a reductive pair in a Lie algebra
Calling Sequences
Query(S, M, "ReductivePair")
Query(S, M, parm, "ReductivePair")
Parameters
S - a list of independent vectors which defines a subalgebra in a Lie algebra g
M - a list of independent vectors which defines a complementary subspace to S in g
parm - (optional) a set of parameters appearing in the list of vectors S

Description
|
|
•
|
A subspace M defines a reductive complement to the subalgebra S in a Lie algebra g if g = S + M (vector space direct sum) and [x, y] in M for all x in S and all y in M.

•
|
Query(S, M, "ReductivePair") returns true if the subspace M defines a reductive complement to the subalgebra S.
|
•
|
Query(S, M, parm, "ReductivePair") returns a sequence TF, Eq, Soln, reductiveList. Here TF is true if Maple finds parameter values for which M is a reductive complement and false otherwise; Eq is the set of equations (with the variables parm as unknowns) which must be satisfied for M to be a reductive complement; Soln is the list of solutions to the equations Eq; and reductiveList is the list of reductive subspaces obtained from the parameter values given by the different solutions in Soln.

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(...).

[e3, e4] is not a reductive complement for [e1, e2] but [e1, e2] is a reductive complement for [e3, e4].

Note that the ComplementaryBasis function can be used to generate the most general complementary subspace. This helps to calculate reductive complements for subalgebras.
