Basically, this method combines a Lie algebra $\\mathcal{G}$ with a finite abelian semigroup $S$ in such a way that a new S-expanded algebra $\\mathcal{G}_{S}$ can be defined. When the semigroup has a zero-element and/or a specific decomposition, which is said to be resonant with the subspace structure of the original algebra, then it is possible to extract smaller algebras from $\\mathcal{G}_{S}$ which have interesting properties. Here we give a brief description of the S-expansion, its applications and the main motivations that lead us to elaborate a Java library, which automatizes this method and allows us to represent and to classify all possible S-expansions of a given Lie algebra.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-02-13T05:57:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "lie algebra", "java library", "perform s-expansions", "extract smaller algebras", "finite abelian semigroup" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
