Is there a reference for how to construct these irreps? We have 
finite-dimensional matrix algebras whose multiplication is given by 
matrices. I have code for finite-dimensional Lie algebras given by 
structure coefficients that could easily be expanded to cover algebras (and 
infinite dimensional).

Hey Nathann,

- We currently do not have native support for Lie algebras and quantum 
groups (although these can be accessed through GAP), but I'm working on 
this. (Although we do have some support for representations of Kac-Moody 
Lie algebras (over CC) through crystals.)

IDK if other M's have support for these, but I think could support better:

- General CW or cubical complexes. Our simplicial complexes are okay, but 
could likely be improved as well. Actually, I don't think there's much code 
for algebraic topology...
- There are no infinite chain complexes implemented in Sage (with this we 
could potentially help the previous point).
- Knot theory (but is being worked on).
- Probability theory, on finite sets in particular, or at least having 
things phrased like how I learned it in classes (like random variables, 
distributions, etc.)

Best,
Travis
