چکیده
Aslaksen, H., Determining summands in tensor products of Lie algebra representations, Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra 93 (1994) 135-146. We give some results that enable us to find certain summands in tensor products of Lie algebra representations. We concentrate on the splitting of tensor squares into their symmetric and antisymmetric parts. Our results are valid for any Lie algebra of arbitrary rank, but we do not attempt to give the complete decomposition.

Irreducibility of the tensor product of Albeverio's representations of the Braid groups $B_3$ and $B_4$
We consider Albeverio's linear representations of the braid groups $B_3$ and $B_4$. We specialize the indeterminates used in defining these representations to non zero complex numbers. We then consider the tensor products of the representations of $B_3$ and the tensor products of those of $B_4$. We then determine necessary and sufficient conditions that guarantee the irreducibility of th...
متن کاملDecomposing Lie Algebra Representations Using Crystal Graphs
We use the theory of crystal graphs to give a simple graph-theoretical algorithm for determining the branching rule for decomposing a representation of a simple Lie algebra when restricted to a simple subalgebra. We also describe a computer package for determining such decomposi-tions graphically. 0.1 Introduction When modeling elementary particle interactions and symmetry breaking in physics i...
متن کاملMonomial Irreducible sln-Modules
In this article, we introduce monomial irreducible representations of the special linear Lie algebra $sln$. We will show that this kind of representations have bases for which the action of the Chevalley generators of the Lie algebra on the basis elements can be given by a simple formula.
متن کاملA Note on Tensor Categories of Lie Type
We consider the problem of decomposing tensor powers of the fundamental level 1 highest weight representation V of the affine Kac-Moody algebra g(E9). We describe an elementary algorithm for determining the decomposition of the submodule of V ⊗n whose irreducible direct summands have highest weights which are maximal with respect to the null-root. This decomposition is based on Littelmann’s pat...
متن کاملUniversal Central Extension of Current Superalgebras
Representation as well as central extension are two of the most important concepts in the theory of Lie (super)algebras. Apart from the interest of mathematicians, the attention of physicist are also drawn to these two subjects because of the significant amount of their applications in Physics. In fact for physicists, the study of projective representations of Lie (super)algebras are very impo...
