Hello all, As we all know, this is the first week of GSOC and I'm working on a Lie algebra module. My blog is http://meclark256.wordpress.com/
Specifically I'd like to generate some discussion on the issue that I just wrote about in this week's blog entry, on actual physical commutation relations for specific Lie algebras. Quoted from my blog: What I am, however, running into difficulties about is generating the commutation relations for su(n) in general. With the somewhat cursory look I did into this specific issue when I was writing my application, I rather thought that there was a well-defined relation or algorithm to generate the commutation relations which I would then just implement. However, upon really researching this, I’ve realised that there is no such algorithm. So, while I could have my code dispense the commutation relations for su(2) and su(3) (which are probably the only cases when you would /really/ want the actual, physical commuation relations between the basis elements) I don’t know if this would be worthwhile. Specifically, do people think it'd be worthwhile to implement the commutation relations for su(2) and su(3)?
