Dear Forum, If we know a set of generator of a Lie algebra, can we use GAP to give a presentation of the Lie algebra? For example, for $sl_2$ (over $\mathbb{C}$), if we know $e=(0, 1; 0, 0)$, $f=(0, 0; 1, 0)$ , $h=(1, 0; 0, -1)$, how to write a presentation of $sl_2$ from these matrices?
What about the case of positive characteristics ($\mathbb{C}$ is replaced by some field of a positive characteristic)? Thank you very much. With best wishes, Jianrong. _______________________________________________ Forum mailing list Forum@mail.gap-system.org http://mail.gap-system.org/mailman/listinfo/forum
