In a recent post in this thread, Savdeep Sethi pointed out that at least for certain computations LiE is much faster than Sage for decomposing tensor powers of representations. In analyzing why this is true, I tried replacing the current algorithm, which is the product_on_basis method of WeylCha

There is already an optional LiE spkg for Sage [1]. I don't know anything about it, for example whether it even builds. But that would perhaps be a place to start. > > [1] http://www.sagemath.org/packages/optional/lie-2.2.2.p4.spkg > > -- > John > Currently sage can do most everything that LiE
