7.7.3.0. isCartan
Procedure from library central.lib (see central_lib).
- Usage:
- isCartan(f); f poly
- Purpose:
- check whether f is a Cartan element.
- Return:
- integer, 1 if f is a Cartan element and 0 otherwise.
- Note:
- f is a Cartan element of the algebra A
if and only if for all g in A there exists C in K such that [f, g] = C * g
if and only if for all variables v_i there exist C in K such that [f, v_i] = C * v_i.
Example:
| | LIB "central.lib";
ring R=0,(x,y,z),dp;
matrix D[3][3]=0;
D[1,2]=-z;
D[1,3]=2*x;
D[2,3]=-2*y;
def r = nc_algebra(1,D); setring r; // this is U(sl_2) with cartan - z
isCartan(z); // yes!
==> 1
poly p=4*x*y+z^2-2*z;
isCartan(p); // central elements are Cartan elements!
==> 1
poly f=4*x*y;
isCartan(f); // no way!
==> 0
isCartan( 10 + p + z ); // scalar + central + cartan
==> 1
