LieAlgebras[SubRepresentation] - find the induced representation on an invariant subspace of the representation space
Calling Sequences
SubRepresentation(rho, S, W)
Parameters
rho - a representation of a Lie algebra g on a vector space V
S - a list of vectors in V whose span defines a rho invariant subspace of V
W - a Maple name or string, giving the frame name for the representation space for the subrepresentation

Description
|
|
•
|
If rho: g -> gl(V) is a representation and S is a subspace of V, then S is rho invariant if rho(x)(y) in S for all x in g and y in S. The command SubRepresentation(rho, W) returns the representation phi of g on the vector space S defined by phi(x)(y) = rho(x)(y) for all x in g and y in S.

Example 1.
We shall define a 4-dimensional representation rho of a 4 dimensional Lie algebra taken from the DifferentialGeometry Library, find an invariant subspace S of rho, and calculate the subrepresentation of rho on S.
