Download

For now, QuantumGroups` is only available from its SVN repository (about SVN), or as a subpackage of KnotTheory`.

Installation

If you're planning on using QuantumGroup` from inside KnotTheory`, you just have to execute <<QuantumGroups` after loading the KnotTheory` package. Otherwise, you'll first need to add it to the path (that is, add the directory containing QuantumGroups.m to $Path), and then execute <<QuantumGroups`.

Examples of use

Root systems

Weyl groups

Weight multiplicities and tensor product decomposition

Explicit bases, and matrix presentations

Generators and relations of quantum groups

Action of the braided coxeter group on the quantum group

Quantum root operators

R-matrices

Quantum knot invariants
