Modules over Algebras


New Features:

  • A new Meataxe algorithm has been developed for splitting general A-modules, where A is a finite dimensional matrix algebra defined over the rational field. This yields an effective algorithm for decomposing a module into indecomposable summands. If the module is a G-module for some group G, extensive use is also made of character theory. Representations associated with characters having non-trivial Schur indices are properly handled. The difficult problem of splitting homogeneous modules (direct sums of the same indecomposable) is handled by decomposing the endomorphism ring of the module via a maximal order. Modules having dimensions in the several hundreds are routinely split into indecomposable modules. Such modules are created via such functions as GModule and RModule, as for modules over finite fields.
