Abstract
We describe computational methods for computing the component group of the stabilizer of a nilpotent element in a complex simple Lie algebra. Our algorithms have been implemented in the language of the computer algebra system GAP4. Occasionally we need Gröbner basis computations; for these we use the systems Magma and Singular. The resulting component groups have been made available in the GAP4 package SLA.
期刊介绍:
An international journal, the Journal of Symbolic Computation, founded by Bruno Buchberger in 1985, is directed to mathematicians and computer scientists who have a particular interest in symbolic computation. The journal provides a forum for research in the algorithmic treatment of all types of symbolic objects: objects in formal languages (terms, formulas, programs); algebraic objects (elements in basic number domains, polynomials, residue classes, etc.); and geometrical objects.
It is the explicit goal of the journal to promote the integration of symbolic computation by establishing one common avenue of communication for researchers working in the different subareas. It is also important that the algorithmic achievements of these areas should be made available to the human problem-solver in integrated software systems for symbolic computation. To help this integration, the journal publishes invited tutorial surveys as well as Applications Letters and System Descriptions.
