  JSci.maths.algebras.LieAlgebra
      JSci.maths.algebras.su2Dim3

public final class su2Dim3
extends LieAlgebra

The su2Dim3 class encapsulates su(2) algebras using the 3 dimensional (adjoint) representation. Elements are represented by 3-vectors with a matrix basis.

Method Summary

AbstractComplexSquareMatrix[]	basis() Returns the basis used to represent the Lie algebra.
AbstractDoubleSquareMatrix	cartanMetric() Returns the Cartan metric.
AbstractComplexSquareMatrix	getElement(AbstractDoubleVector v) Returns an element as a matrix (vector*basis).
static su2Dim3	getInstance() Singleton.
double	killingForm(AbstractDoubleVector a, AbstractDoubleVector b) Returns the Killing Form of two elements (scalar product).
AbstractDoubleVector	multiply(AbstractDoubleVector a, AbstractDoubleVector b) Returns the Lie bracket (commutator) of two elements.
