lift()[source]

Lift self to the universal enveloping algebra.

EXAMPLES:

sage: # needs sage.combinat sage.groups
sage: S = SymmetricGroup(3).algebra(QQ)
sage: L = LieAlgebra(associative=S)
sage: x = L.gen(3)
sage: y = L.gen(1)
sage: x.lift()
b3
sage: y.lift()
b1
sage: x * y
b1*b3 + b4 - b5

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> # needs sage.combinat sage.groups
>>> S = SymmetricGroup(Integer(3)).algebra(QQ)
>>> L = LieAlgebra(associative=S)
>>> x = L.gen(Integer(3))
>>> y = L.gen(Integer(1))
>>> x.lift()
b3
>>> y.lift()
b1
>>> x * y
b1*b3 + b4 - b5
to_vector(order=None)[source]

Return the vector in g.module() corresponding to the element self of g (where g is the parent of self).

Implement this if you implement g.module(). See sage.categories.lie_algebras.LieAlgebras.module() for how this is to be done.

EXAMPLES:

sage: L = LieAlgebras(QQ).FiniteDimensional().WithBasis().example()     # needs sage.modules
sage: L.an_element().to_vector()                                        # needs sage.modules
(0, 0, 0)

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> L = LieAlgebras(QQ).FiniteDimensional().WithBasis().example()     # needs sage.modules
>>> L.an_element().to_vector()                                        # needs sage.modules
(0, 0, 0)

bracket_on_basis(x, y)[source]

Return the bracket of basis elements indexed by x and y where x < y. If this is not implemented, then the method _bracket_() for the elements must be overwritten.

from_vector(v, order=None, coerce=False)[source]

Return the element of self corresponding to the vector v in self.module().

sage: parent(u) is L                                                    # needs sage.modules
