LieAlgebras[Centralizer] - find the centralizer of a list of vectors
Calling Sequences
Centralizer(S, h)
Parameters
S - a list of vectors in a Lie algebra g
h - (optional) a subalgebra of g containing the vectors in S
Description
The centralizer of a set of vectors S in a subalgebra h is the subalgebra of vectors in h which commute with all the vectors in S.
Centralizer(S, h) calculates the centralizer of the set S in the subalgebra h. If the second argument h is not specified then the default is h = g, and the centralizer of S in g is calculated.
A list of vectors defining a basis for the centralizer of S is returned. If the centralizer of S is trivial, then an empty list is returned.
The command Centralizer is part of the DifferentialGeometry:-LieAlgebras package. It can be used in the form Centralizer(...) only after executing the commands with(DifferentialGeometry) and with(LieAlgebras), but can always be used by executing DifferentialGeometry:-LieAlgebras:-Centralizer(...).
Examples
Example 1.
First initialize a Lie algebra.
Calculate the centralizer of e3 in the Lie algebra Alg1.
Calculate the centralizer of [e4, e5] in the Lie algebra Alg1.
