Sorry for my late reply... I think I'll start by contributing something modest: maybe classifying the real Lie algebras, as I mentioned above. While I do that, I will take a deeper look at the physics module and see if there already exists a quick "cookbook" for commonly found representations i

That sounds like a good, achievable idea. I'll look into it. My group theory is a little rusty, but not too bad. On Friday, February 10, 2017 at 12:53:01 PM UTC-6, Kalevi Suominen wrote: > > > > On Friday, February 10, 2017 at 7:54:27 PM UTC+2, Ian George wrote: >> >> Hello, >> >> So, first, I'm
