  • Lie Theory in Magma
  • 3pm–4pm, Thursday 17th December, 2009
  • Carlaw 535
  • In this talk I will survey current facilities for Lie theory computation in Magma. I will discuss both practical implementations and algorithmic aspects. This talk will cover:

    • Root systems
    • Coxeter groups and reflection groups
    • Lie algebras
    • Classical groups
    • Groups of Lie type (reductive algebraic groups)
    • Highest weight representations

    I will also discuss possible future directions, including implementation of more general algebraic groups.

The Computational Algebra Group is a research group within the School of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Sydney.
