4 Functions for calculating with Majorana representations

4.1 Calculating products

4.1-1 MAJORANA_AlgebraProduct

Returns: the algebra product of vectors u and v

The arguments u and v must be row vectors in sparse matrix format. The arguments algebraproducts and setup must be the components with these names of a representation as outputted by MajoranaRepresentation (3.1-1). The output is the algebra product of u and v, also in sparse matrix format.

4.1-2 MAJORANA_InnerProduct

Returns: the inner product of vectors u and v

The arguments u and v must be row vectors in sparse matrix format. The arguments innerproducts and setup must be the components with these names of a representation as outputted by MajoranaRepresentation (3.1-1). The output is the inner product of u and v.

4.2 Basic functions

4.2-1 MAJORANA_IsComplete

Returns: true is all algebra products have been found, otherwise returns false

Takes a Majorana representation rep, as outputted by MajoranaRepresentation (3.1-1). If the representation is complete, that is to say, if the vector space spanned by the basis vectors indexed by the elements in rep.setup.coords is closed under the algebra product given by rep.algebraproducts, return true. Otherwise, if some products are not known then return false.

4.2-2 MAJORANA_Dimension

Returns: the dimension of the representation rep as an integer

Takes a Majorana representation rep, as outputted by MajoranaRepresentation (3.1-1) and returns its dimension as a vector space. If the representation is not complete (cf. MAJORANA_IsComplete (4.2-1) ) then this value might not be the true dimension of the algebra.

4.2-3 MAJORANA_Eigenvectors

Returns: a basis of the eigenspace of the axis as position index with eigenvalue eval as a sparse matrix

4.2-4 MAJORANA_Basis

Returns: a sparse matrix that gives a basis of the algebra

4.2-5 MAJORANA_AdjointAction

Returns: a sparse matrix representing the adjoint action of axis on basis

Takes a Majorana representation rep, as outputted by MajoranaRepresentation (3.1-1), a row vector axis in sparse matrix format and a set of basis vectors, also in sparse matrix format. Returns a matrix, also in sparse matrix format, that represents the adjoint action of axis on basis.

4.3 The subalgebra structure

4.3-1 MAJORANA_Subalgebra

Returns: the subalgebra of the representation rep that is generated by vecs

Takes a Majorana representation rep, as outputted by MajoranaRepresentation (3.1-1) and a set of vectors vecs in sparse matrix format and returns the subalgebra generated by vecs, also in sparse matrix format.

4.3-2 MAJORANA_IsJordanAlgebra

Returns: true if the subalgebra subalg is a Jordan algebra, otherwise returns false

Takes a Majorana representation rep, as outputted by MajoranaRepresentation (3.1-1) and a subalgebra subalg of rep. If this subalgebra is a Jordan algebra then function returns true, otherwise returns false.
