class sage.combinat.root_system.type_reducible.CartanType(types)#

Bases: SageObject, CartanType_abstract

A class for reducible Cartan types.

Reducible root systems are ones that can be factored as direct products. Strictly speaking type \(D_2\) (corresponding to orthogonal groups of degree 4) is reducible since it is isomorphic to \(A_1\times A_1\). However type \(D_2\) is not built using this class for our purposes.

INPUT:

types – a list of simple Cartan types

EXAMPLES:

sage: t1, t2 = [CartanType(x) for x in (['A',1], ['B',2])]
sage: CartanType([t1, t2])
A1xB2
sage: t = CartanType("A2xB2")

A reducible Cartan type is finite (resp. crystallographic, simply laced) if all its components are:

sage: t.is_finite()
True
sage: t.is_crystallographic()
True
sage: t.is_simply_laced()
False

This is implemented by inserting the appropriate abstract super classes (see _add_abstract_superclass()):

sage: t.__class__.mro()
[<class 'sage.combinat.root_system.type_reducible.CartanType_with_superclass'>, <class 'sage.combinat.root_system.type_reducible.CartanType'>, <class 'sage.structure.sage_object.SageObject'>, <class 'sage.combinat.root_system.cartan_type.CartanType_finite'>, <class 'sage.combinat.root_system.cartan_type.CartanType_crystallographic'>, <class 'sage.combinat.root_system.cartan_type.CartanType_abstract'>, <class 'object'>]

The index set of the reducible Cartan type is obtained by relabelling successively the nodes of the Dynkin diagrams of the components by 1,2,…:

sage: t = CartanType(["A",4], ["BC",5,2], ["C",3])
sage: t.index_set()
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

sage: t.dynkin_diagram()                                                        # needs sage.graphs
O---O---O---O

O=<=O---O---O---O=<=O
5   6   7   8   9   10
O---O=<=O
11   12   13
A4xBC5~xC3
