LieAlgebra / List -- make a quotient Lie algebra

Synopsis

Description

Consider first the case where L has zero differential, and where L is finitely presented as a quotient of a free Lie algebra F. In this case, the output Q is also finitely presented as a quotient of F.

i1 : F = lieAlgebra{a,b,c}

o1 = F

o1 : LieAlgebra
i2 : L = F/{a b}

o2 = L

o2 : LieAlgebra
i3 : Q = L/{a c}

o3 = Q

o3 : LieAlgebra
i4 : describe Q

o4 = generators => {a, b, c}
     Weights => {{1, 0}, {1, 0}, {1, 0}}
     Signs => {0, 0, 0}
     ideal => { - (b a),  - (c a)}
     ambient => F
     diff => {}
     Field => QQ
     computedDegree => 0
i5 : class\Q#ideal

o5 = {F, F}

o5 : List
i6 : F/Q#ideal==Q

o6 = true

In case L has a non-zero differential, the program adds relations depending on the fact that the ideal should be invariant under the differential. These extra (non-normalized) relations may be looked upon using describe(LieAlgebra). Observe that D is not free in this example, see differentialLieAlgebra.

i7 : F = lieAlgebra({a,b,c2,c3},Weights=>{{1,0},{1,0},{2,1},{3,2}},

If the input Lie algebra L is given as a finitely presented Lie algebra M modulo an ideal J that is not (known to be) finitely generated (e.g., the kernel of a homomorphism ), then the output Lie algebra Q is presented as a quotient of a finitely presented Lie algebra N by an ideal I, where N is given as M modulo a lifting of the input list x to M, and I is the image of the natural map from M to N applied to J, see image(LieAlgebraMap,LieSubSpace).
