This GAP package contains a variety of functions for working with Lie
|
|
algebras obtained from associative algebras by using the "bracket"
|
|
operation ab-ba.
|
|
|
|
In case the associative algebra has been constructed using the
|
|
GroupRing function, the package uses fast methods that take advantage
|
|
of known special properties of group algebras. Some of the functions
|
|
provided are LieCentre, LieDerivedSubalgebra, IsLieAbelian,
|
|
IsLieSolvable, IsLieNilpotent and variations on these.
|
|
|
|
There are also functions for maintaining contact with the original
|
|
associative ring and with the underlying group in case the algebra is
|
|
a group algebra.
