Thematic Tutorial: Lie methods and related combinatorics
Attachment: trac_8442-rebased-4.6.patch.gz
With sage-4.6.alpha1 the patch needed rebasing. I did this, then made a couple of other changes which I think are improvements. I removed the material about intertwining operators, which seems too specialized for a document like this. I will make available this elsewhere. I added a new section called Integration showing how to compute some integrals over Lie groups.

This looks like an amazing document to include with Sage. Thanks for working on it.
First, all doctests pass for me.
I get three warnings when building the docs, two of which anyone can fix:

/Applications/sage/devel/sage/doc/en/thematic_tutorials/lie/weyl_groups.rst:: WARNING: citation not found: BumpNakasuji2010
A few questions and comments about the text: first, the style in the Sage documentation is to use \Bold{C}
for the complex numbers, and similarly for R and Q. This is more of an issue for docstrings for methods, functions, etc., but you might consider changing it.
In introduction.rst,
For example, we could take `G = SU(n)`,
`\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{sl}(n, \mathbb{R})`,
`\mathfrak{g}_{\mathbb{C}} = \mathfrak{sl}(n, \mathbb{C})` and
`G = SL(n, \mathbb{C})`.
Should the last "G" be "G{\mathbb{C}}" (or "G{\Bold{C}}")?
In lie_basics.rst, on line 141: However Parabolic subgroups do not exist for compact Lie groups.
Don't capitalize "Parabolic".
On line 150:
Such a type is implemented in Sage as a pair ``[`X`,r]``
I would use plain quotes around the X, not backquotes: ``['X',r]``
A few lines later:
The exceptional types are::
['G',2], ['F',4], ['E',6], ['E',7] or ['E',8].
The indented block is verbatim text, so spacing matters. The inconsistency between double-spacing and single-spacing looks odd to me, and I would just put single spaces after all of the commas.
weyl_character_ring.rst, line 239, with Cartan type `['B',r]`
: I would use double back quotes here instead of single ones.

All jhpalmieri's comments are good. I have updated the patch and reposted it as trac_8442-rebased-4.6.1.patch.
I'm attaching a patch to fix the spacing in one table in lie_basics.rst. All tests pass, and with the extra patch, the docs build in both html and pdf formats.
I'm not a Lie algebra expert, nor an expert in Sage's implementation of Lie algebras. Can someone else take a look at this and (I hope) positively review it soon)? It would be nice to get this merged.

I'd like to give it a positive review, but I still might like to know more about few related things:
One is about a way to connecting Lie functionality in GAP to the one in Sage. Anything on this?
It would also be good if anything is said regarding the optional Sage package lie (by Marc van Leeuween). Is it right that basically anything doable in lie can be done in Sage? In particular, lie can compute decompositions of, say, a tensor product of two representations into irreducibles. It's not clear to me whether one can do this in Sage (without lie).

One is about a way to connecting Lie functionality in GAP to the one in Sage. Anything on this?
One issue with GAP on Sage is that the interface needs a lot of work. There is a lot of power in GAP that can't be accessed from Sage because of this.
The Lie theory in Sage is mostly written from scratch. But here is an example where GAP is involved in the background. We have a class for WeylGroups in weyl_group.py. This class inherits from MatrixGroup_gens which in turn inherits from MatrixGroup_gap. So GAP is involved in Weyl Groups.
It would also be good if anything is said regarding the optional Sage package lie (by Marc van Leeuween). Is it right that basically anything doable in lie can be done in Sage? In particular, lie can compute decompositions of, say, a tensor product of two representations into irreducibles. It's not clear to me whether one can do this in Sage (without lie).
I am not sure whether everything that is doable with LiE is doable with Sage but I do think that anything that is needed from LiE is either in Sage already or (if needed) should be reimplemented. What is in Sage is a pretty complete toolkit for finite-dimensional representations of Lie groups. Decomposing a tensor product into irreducibles is just the multiplication in the WeylCharacterRing. This is addressed in the tutorial. See:
Have a look also at the branching rules.
http://match.stanford.edu/bump/thematic_tutorials-js/lie/branching_rules.html
LiE has some functionality for working with Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials, but that is in Sage, as fast as LiE (though not as fast as Coxeter3). LiE has alternate methods of computing Weyl Characters including use of Demazure characters. Some version of the Demazure character is in the crystal code, but it would also be easy and perhaps useful to add a method to the WeightRing. But it is not urgently needed. Sage uses the Freudenthal multiplicity formula to compute the character.

This is addressed in the tutorial. See:
One particular thing I was able to do using Lie was to compute things in classical invariant theory, such as the dimension of the space of invariants of degree k of the m-ary form of degree d (for fixed k,m,d). Basically, that meant computing certain symmetric power of certain representation of GL_m (or SL_m), and finding out whether there was a 1-dimensional sub-representation.
Is this doable in Sage? Thanks!
Basically, that meant computing certain symmetric power of certain representation of GL_m (or SL_m), and finding out whether there was a 1-dimensional sub-representation.
For symmetric (or exterior) square you can use the frobenius_schur_indicator method. For higher symmetric powers, here is a way. Suppose we want to compute the symmetric 5-th power of the 8-dimensional adjoint representation of SL(3). The relevant groups are SL(3) and SL(8), so we need Weyl Character rings A2 and A7.
sage: A2=WeylCharacterRing("A2",style="coroots")
sage: A7=WeylCharacterRing("A7",style="coroots",cache="true")
sage: s = A7.fundamental_weights()[1]
sage: A7(5*s)
A7(5,0,0,0,0,0,0)
sage: A7(5*s)
A7(5,0,0,0,0,0,0)
sage: A7(5*s).degree()
792
This is the symmetric 5-th power of the standard representation of SL(8), which we want to branch down to SL(3) along the adjoint representation, which is a homomorphism SL(3) --> SL(8). So we create the adjoint representation, then branch the symmetric 5-th power representation of SL(8) down to SL(3).
sage: ad=A2(1,1); ad.degree()
8
sage: A7(5*s).branch(A2,rule=branching_rule_from_plethysm(ad,"A7"))
A2(0,0) + 2*A2(1,1) + A2(0,3) + A2(3,0) + 2*A2(2,2) + A2(1,4) + A2(4,1) + 2*A2(3,3) + A2(2,5) + A2(5,2) + A2(4,4) + A2(5,5)
There is your decomposition into irreducibles. You can see that there is a copy of the trivial representation.
Replying to @dwbump: Very nice! Positive review. (IMHO it would be nice to have your last example included in the tutorial, but I'd leave it to you to decide whether to do this.)

I will make a patch for this. Perhaps it should be a separate ticket so as not to further delay this one.

I just noticed that the trac_8442-png-files containing the .png files is not the right patch!
The files are in the wrong directory (should be doc/en/thematic_tutorials/media) and some of the images are missing. I am puzzled as to how this happened since everything was built and tested.
I am changing the status back to needs_work until I can fix this.
I replaced the file trac_8442-png-files.patch, and am restoring the status to positive_review.
The correct file is 52266 bytes.

I second this. #8470 is a meta-ticket meant for coordinating documentation. Closing the current ticket is a prereq to closing it. So, please close the current ticket, which in no ways depends on #8470.
