Using a representation-orbit replacement, the definitions and properties of the indices are formulated for individual orbits of the examined groups. The indices of orders two and four of the tensor product of $k$ orbits are determined. Using the branching rules for the non-crystallographic Coxeter groups, the embedding index is defined similarly to the Dynkin index of a representation. Moreover, since the definition of the indices can be applied to any orbit of non-crystallographic type, the algorithm allowing to search for the orbits of smaller radii contained within any considered one is presented for the Coxeter groups $H_2$ and $H_3$. The geometrical structures of nested polytopes are exemplified.

The orthogonality … We develop discrete orthogonality relations on the finite sets of the generalized Chebyshev nodes related to the root systems A 2 , C 2 and G 2 . The orthogonality relations are consequences of orthogonality of four types of Weyl orbit functions on the fragments of the dual weight lattices. A uniform recursive construction of the polynomials as well as explicit presentation of all data needed for the discrete orthogonality relations allow practical implementation of the related Fourier methods. The polynomial interpolation method is developed and exemplified.

Projection matrices and branching rules for orbits of finite Coxeter groups of non-crystallographic type are presented. The novelty in this paper is producing the branching rules that involve non-crystallographic Coxeter groups. Moreover, these branching rules are relevant to any application of non-crystallographic Coxeter groups including molecular crystallography and encryption.

The actual number of non-isomorphic polytopes of the same group has no limit. To put practical bounds on the number of polytopes to consider for each group we limit our consideration to polytopes with dominant point (vertex) that contains only nonnegative integers in ω-basis. A natural place to start the consideration of polytopes from is the generic dominant weight which were all three coordinates are the lowest positive integer numbers. Contraction is a continuous change of one or several coordinates to zero.

The method consists of recursive decoration of the appropriate Coxeter-Dynkin diagram [Champagne et al. (1995). Can. J. Phys. 73, 566-584]. Each recursion step provides the essentials of faces of a specific dimension and specific symmetry. The results can be applied to crystals of any dimension and any symmetry.

We describe six different ways to generate the graphene by the means of group theory. There are two ways starting from the triangular lattice of Lie algebra $A_2$ and $G_2$, and one way for each of the Lie algebras $B_3$, $C_3$ and $A_3$, by projecting the weight system of their lowest representation to the hexagons of $A_2$. Colouring of the graphene is presented. Changing from one colouring to another is called phase transition. Multistep refinements of the graphene are described.

The defining property … The characters of irreducible finite dimensional representations of compact simple Lie group G are invariant with respect to the action of the Weyl group W(G) of G. The defining property of the new character-like functions (‘hybrid characters’) is the fact that W(G) acts differently on the character term corresponding to the long roots than on those corresponding to the short roots. Therefore the hybrid characters are defined for the simple Lie groups with two different lengths of their roots. Dominant weight multiplicities for the hybrid characters are determined. The formulas for ‘hybrid dimensions’ are also found for all cases as the zero degree term in power expansion of the ‘hybrid characters’.

The Platonic solids/polytopes are described together with their faces of dimensions 0 ≤ d ≤ n - 1. Dual pairs of Platonic polytopes are considered in parallel. The underlying finite Coxeter groups are those of simple Lie algebras of types A(n), B(n), C(n), F4, also called the Weyl groups or, equivalently, crystallographic Coxeter groups, and of non-crystallographic Coxeter groups H3, H4. The method consists of recursively decorating the appropriate Coxeter-Dynkin diagram. Each recursion step provides the essential information about faces of a specific dimension. If, at each recursion step, all of the faces are in the same Coxeter group orbit, i.e. are identical, the solid is called Platonic. The main result of the paper is found in Theorem 2.1 and Propositions 3.1 and 3.2.

These data are indispensable for Fourier-like expansions of multidimensional digital data into finite series of C- or S-functions on the fundamental domain F of the underlying Lie group G. Firstly, we determine the number |FM| of points in F from the lattice P∨M, which is the refinement of the dual weight lattice P∨ of G by a positive integer M. Secondly, we find the lowest set ΛM of dominant weights, specifying the maximal set of C- and S-functions that are pairwise orthogonal on the point set FM. Finally, we describe an efficient algorithm for finding, on the maximal torus of G, the number of conjugate points to every point of FM. Discrete C- and S-transforms, together with their continuous interpolations, are presented in full generality.

Until … The purpose of this note is to describe and prove a fast recursion formula for computing multiplicities of weights of finite dimensional representations of simple Lie algebras over C. Until now information about weight multiplicities for all but some special cases [1,2] has had to be found from the recursion formulas of Freudenthal [3] or Racah [4].Typically these formulas become too laborious to use for hand computations for ranks ^ 5 and dimensions ^100 and for ranks -10 and dimensions ~ 10 4 on a large computer [5, 6].With the proposed method the multiplicities can routinely be calculated, even by hand, for dimensions far exceeding these.As an example we present a summary of calculations [7] of all multiplicities in the first sixteen irreducible representations of E s .Let ($ be a semisimple Lie algebra over C with root system A and Weyl group W relative to a Cartan subalgebra §.Let A + be the positive roots with respect to some ordering and II = {a t , ..., a ; } the set of simple roots.Let Q and P be the root and weight lattices respectively spanning the real vector space FC §*.If X C P we denote by X + + the set of dominant elements of X relative to n.Let M be an irreducible ($ -module with highest weight A and weight system £2.An important feature of the approach is the direct determination of £2 ++ without computing outside the dominant chamber.Since every W-orbit is represented by one weight X £ £2 ++ of the same multiplicity, it suffices to compute such X's.The recursion formula for computing the multiplicities is a modification (Proposition 4) of the Freudenthal formula in which the Weyl group has been exploited to collapse it as much as possible.After describing the procedure, we present the E % example.Finally the necessary proofs are given.

Orthogonality relations of the four families of polynomials are found together with the appropriate weight fuctions. Tables of the lowest degree polynomials are shown. Numerous trigonometric-like identities are found. Two of the four families of functions are identified as the functions encountered in the Weyl character formula for the finite dimensional irreducible representations of the compact Lie group Sp(4). The other two families of functions seem to play no role in Lie theory so far in spite of their analogous `good' properties.

Antisymmetric orbit functions on the Euclidean space $E_n$ are antisymmetrized exponential functions. Antisymmetrization is fulfilled by a Weyl group, corresponding to a Coxeter-Dynkin diagram. Properties of such functions are described. These functions are closely related to irreducible characters of a compact semisimple Lie group $G$ of rank $n$. Up to a sign, values of antisymmetric orbit functions are repeated on copies of the fundamental domain $F$ of the affine Weyl group (determined by the initial Weyl group) in the entire Euclidean space $E_n$. Antisymmetric orbit functions are solutions of the corresponding Laplace equation in $E_n$, vanishing on the boundary of the fundamental domain $F$. Antisymmetric orbit functions determine a so-called antisymmetrized Fourier transform which is closely related to expansions of central functions in characters of irreducible representations of the group $G$. They also determine a transform on a finite set of points of $F$ (the discrete antisymmetric orbit function transform). Symmetric and antisymmetric multivariate exponential, sine and cosine discrete transforms are given.

The notion of decomposable Poisson tensors is introduced and an algorithm to construct all solvable Lie algebras is presented. Poisson-Liouville structures are also introduced to discuss a new class of Lie algebras which include, as a subclass, semi-simple Lie algebras. A decomposition theorem for Poisson tensors is proved for a class of Poisson manifolds including linear ones. Simple Lie algebras are also discussed from this viewpoint and lower-dimensional real Lie algebras are analysed.

Phys. A: Math. Theor. 42 385208). Here, the results of Hrivn\'ak and Patera are extended to two additional recently discovered families of special functions, called $S^s-$ and $S^l-$functions. The main result is an explicit description of their pairwise discrete orthogonality within each family, when the functions are sampled on finite fragments $F^s_M$ and $F^l_M$ of a lattice in any dimension $n\geq2$ and of any density controlled by $M$, and of the symmetry of the weight lattice of any compact simple Lie group with two different lengths of roots.

For each simple Lie group, there are three families of special functions (C-, S- and E-functions) on which the transforms are built. Pertinent properties of the functions are described in detail, such as their orthogonality within each family, when integrated over a finite region F of the three-dimensional Euclidean space (continuous orthogonality), as well as when summed up over a lattice grid FM ⊂ F (discrete orthogonality). The positive integer M sets up the density of the lattice containing FM. The expansion of functions given either on F or on FM is the paper's main focus.

Its result recognizes Chebyshev polynomials of the first and second kind as the special case of the simple group of type A 1 . The obtained not Laurent‐type polynomials are equivalent to the partial cases of the Macdonald symmetric polynomials. Recurrence relations are shown for the Lie groups of types A 1 , A 2 , A 3 , C 2 , C 3 , G 2 , and B 3 together with lowest polynomials.

The tangent bundle TM possess a natural structure of Lie algebroid, but we use these fields to construct a collection of interesting new algebroid structures. Next, we show that these constructions can be used in a more general situation, starting from an arbitrary Lie algebroid over M. In the final step, we show that after limiting ourselves to Lie algebras these formulas as a special case contain brackets well known in theory of classical r-matrices. We can think of our constructions as extending the concept of classical r-matrices to Lie algebroids. Several examples illustrate the importance of these constructions.

The EFO provide … In this paper we use the theory of elements of finite order (EFO) as a new and very effective tool for discrete methods in simple Lie groups. The EFO provide a systematic way of discretely approximating the group. Their character values allow us to systematically determine information about Lie groups and their representations for groups well beyond the range of standard methods. We discuss the theory of EFO, the use of algebraic number fields to single out finite classes of them, and methods of explicitly determining such classes. We introduce an algorithm for effectively computing their character values which utilizes double coset decompositions in the Weyl group and a fast algorithm for determining weight space multiplicities which we developed earlier. The methods are uniform for all simple Lie groups. We briefly discuss a number of applications of this work and finish with a number of tables (including some for $E_6 $) of EFO and their character values.

The method is based on the use of … A new algorithm is described for splitting class functions of an arbitrary semisimple compact Lie group K into sums of irreducible characters. The method is based on the use of elements of finite order (EFO) in K and is applicable to a number of problems, including decompositions of tensor products and various symmetry classes of tensors, as well as branching rules in group-subgroup reductions. The main feature is the construction of a decomposition matrix D, computed once and for all for a given range of problems and for a given K, which then reduces any particular splitting to a simple matrix multiplication. Determination of D requires selection of a suitable set S of conjugacy classes of EFO representing a finite subgroup of a maximal torus T of K and the evaluation of (Weyl group) orbit sums on S. In fact, the evaluation of D can be coupled with the evaluation of the orbit sums in such a way as to greatly enhance the efficiency of the latter. The use of the method is illustrated by some extensive examples of tensor product decompositions in ${E_6}$. Modular arithmetic allows all computations to be performed exactly.

Math Phys. 46, 053514 … In the paper we complete the development and description of the four variants of two-dimensional generalization of the cosine transform started in [Patera and Zaratsyan, J. Math Phys. 46, 053514 (2005)]. Each variant is based on a compact semisimple Lie group G of rank 2. Here, the groups are SU(3) and G(2). The cosines are generalized as the corresponding C-functions of the Lie group. A C-function is the contribution to an irreducible character from one orbit of the appropriate Weyl group. An explicit description is provided for expansions of functions given on the fundamental region F of the two compact simple Lie groups into series of C-functions. The fundamental region F is an equilateral triangle for SU(3) and half of such a triangle for G(2). Expansion coefficients are calculated using orthogonality of C-functions on F. Discrete expansions are set up on a grid FM⊂F. The grid is defined group theoretically for all positive integers M. It consists of points in F that represent conjugacy classes of elements of the finite maximal Abelian subgroup of G generated by its elements of order M. The C-functions are orthogonal on such a grid; hence, coefficients of discrete expansions are calculated independently of the continuous expansions. Processing digital data, sampled on triangular lattices, is the motivating application here.

The basic ingredient is a pair (F,v) consisting of a linear mapping F∈End(V) with an eigenvector v. This pair allows to build a Lie bracket on a dual space to a linear space V. The Lie algebra obtained in this way is solvable. In particular, when F is nilpotent, the Lie algebra is actually nilpotent. We show that these solvable algebras are the basic bricks of the construction of all other Lie algebras. Using relations between the Lie algebra, the Lie–Poisson structure and the Nambu bracket, we show that the algebra invariants (Casimir functions) are solutions of an equation which has an interesting geometric significance. Several examples illustrate the importance of these constructions.

The characters of the centre Z of the Lie group allow one to split functions f on F into a sum f = f 1 + • • • + f c , where c is the order of Z, and where the component functions f k decompose into the series of C-, or S-, or E-functions from one congruence class only.

This description provides a … Abstract We give a uniform description, in terms of Coxeter diagrams, of the Voronoi domains of the root and weight lattices of any semisimple Lie algebra. This description provides a classification not only of all the facets of these Voronoi domains but simultaneously a classification of their dual or Delaunay cells and their facets. It is based on a much more general theory that we develop here providing the same sort of information in the setting of chamber geometries defined by arbitrary reflection groups. These generalized kaleidoscopes include the classical spherical, Euclidean, and hyperbolic kaleidoscopes as special cases. We prove that under certain conditions the Delaunay cells are Voronoi cells for the vertices of the Voronoi complex. This leads to the description in terms of Wythoff polytopes of the Voronoi cells of the weight lattices.

We call them symmetric and antisymmetric multivariate sine and cosine functions. They are given as determinants or antideterminants of matrices, whose matrix elements are sine or cosine functions of one variable each. These functions are eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator, satisfying specific conditions at the boundary of a certain domain F of the n-dimensional Euclidean space. Discrete and continuous orthogonality on F of the functions within each family allows one to introduce symmetrized and antisymmetrized multivariate Fourier-like transforms involving the symmetric and antisymmetric multivariate sine and cosine functions.

The representative of a face type is specified by a decoration of the corresponding Coxeter-Dynkin diagram. The rules of domain description are uniform for root lattices of simple Lie groups of all types. An explicit description of the representatives of all faces is carried out for the domains of root lattices of the four classical series and for the five exceptional simple Lie groups. The Coxeter-Dynkin diagrams required here are the diagrams extended by the highest short root. Each diagram is partitioned into two subdiagrams, one describing completely a d-face of the Voronoi domain, its complement completely describing the dual of the d-face.

This relation, which is called subjoining and denoted by ’’≳’’, is a generalization of inclusion, where a subalgebra is embedded in an algebra. Nontrivial subjoinings of two algebras of the same type are described. New chains of algebras involving proper inclusions and subjoinings can be formed. Infinite families of maximal subjoinings Cn≳Bn and Bn≳Cn are shown.
The characters of irreducible finite dimensional representations of compact simple Lie group G are invariant with respect to the action of the Weyl group W(G) of G. The defining property … The characters of irreducible finite dimensional representations of compact simple Lie group G are invariant with respect to the action of the Weyl group W(G) of G. The defining property of the new character-like functions (‘hybrid characters’) is the fact that W(G) acts differently on the character term corresponding to the long roots than on those corresponding to the short roots. Therefore the hybrid characters are defined for the simple Lie groups with two different lengths of their roots. Dominant weight multiplicities for the hybrid characters are determined. The formulas for ‘hybrid dimensions’ are also found for all cases as the zero degree term in power expansion of the ‘hybrid characters’.

Elements of finite order in the compact simple Lie groups SU(2), SU(3), SU(4), Sp(4) or O(5), and G(2) are considered. We provide the characters of the elements on irreducible representations … Elements of finite order in the compact simple Lie groups SU(2), SU(3), SU(4), Sp(4) or O(5), and G(2) are considered. We provide the characters of the elements on irreducible representations of Lie groups by assigning appro- priate numerical values to the variables on which the characters of representations of the Lie group depend. In this way we specialize generating functions for the characters of the representations of the Lie groups to the generating functions for characters of the elements of finite order. Particular attention is paid to rational elements, all of whose characters are integers; they are listed and the generating functions for their characters are obtained in a simplified form from which the characters can be read. Gaussian elements are also studied in detail. Their characters are complex valued with integer real and imaginary parts.
The discrete Fourier analysis on the 30 0 -60 0 -90 0 triangle is deduced from the corresponding results on the regular hexagon by considering functions invariant under the group … The discrete Fourier analysis on the 30 0 -60 0 -90 0 triangle is deduced from the corresponding results on the regular hexagon by considering functions invariant under the group G 2 , which leads to the definition of four families generalized Chebyshev polynomials.The study of these polynomials leads to a Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem that contains two parameters, whose solutions are analogues of the Jacobi polynomials.Under a concept of m-degree and by introducing a new ordering among monomials, these polynomials are shown to share properties of the ordinary orthogonal polynomials.In particular, their common zeros generate cubature rules of Gauss type.

Next, we construct the Poisson manifold (TM,πTM,λ) from a bi-Hamiltonian manifold (M,π1,π2). This structure can be considered as a deformation of the Poisson structure related to an algebroid structure. We show that the bi-Hamiltonian structure from M can be transferred to the manifold TM. Moreover we present how to construct the Casimir functions for structures πTM, πTM,λ, π̃Tg*, and π̃Tg*,λ from the Casimir functions for π1 and π2 and discuss some particular examples.
The nth order index of an irreducible representation of a semisimple compact Lie group, n a nonnegative even integer, is defined as the sum of nth powers of the magnitudes … The nth order index of an irreducible representation of a semisimple compact Lie group, n a nonnegative even integer, is defined as the sum of nth powers of the magnitudes of the weights of the representation. It is shown, in many situations, to have additivity properties similar to those of the dimension under reduction with respect to a subgroup and under reduction of a direct product. The second order index is shown to be Dynkin’s index, multiplied by the rank of the group. Explicit formulas are derived for the fourth order index. A few reduction problems are solved with the help of higher indices as an illustration of their utility.

The Platonic solids/polytopes are described together with their faces of dimensions 0 ≤ d ≤ n - 1. Dual pairs of Platonic polytopes are considered in parallel. The underlying finite Coxeter groups are those of simple Lie algebras of types A(n), B(n), C(n), F4, also called the Weyl groups or, equivalently, crystallographic Coxeter groups, and of non-crystallographic Coxeter groups H3, H4. The method consists of recursively decorating the appropriate Coxeter-Dynkin diagram. Each recursion step provides the essential information about faces of a specific dimension. If, at each recursion step, all of the faces are in the same Coxeter group orbit, i.e. are identical, the solid is called Platonic. The main result of the paper is found in Theorem 2.1 and Propositions 3.1 and 3.2.

Such contractions fall naturally into two classes: the Wigner-Inonu-like continuous contractions and new discrete contractions. A general method is described for any Abelian grading semigroup and any Lie algebra or superalgebra admitting such a grading. All contractions preserving z2-, z3-, and z2*z2-gradings are found. Examples of these gradings and contractions for the simple Lie algebra A2, affine Kac-Moody algebra A(1) and the simple superalgebra osp(2,1) are shown.
