The Onsager (Lie) algebra.

The Onsager (Lie) algebra $\mathcal{O}$ is a Lie algebra with generators $A_0, A_1$ that satisfy

$[A_0, [A_0, [A_0, A_1]]] = -4 [A_0, A_1], \qquad [A_1, [A_1, [A_1, A_0]]] = -4 [A_1, A_0].$

Note

We are using a rescaled version of the usual defining generators.

There exist a basis $\{A_m, G_n \mid m \in \ZZ, n \in \ZZ_{>0}\}$ for $\mathcal{O}$ with structure coefficients

$[A_m, A_{m'}] = G_{m-m'}, \qquad [G_n, G_{n'}] = 0, \qquad [G_n, A_m] = 2A_{m-n} - 2A_{m+n},$

where $m > m'$ .

The Onsager algebra is isomorphic to the subalgebra of the affine Lie algebra $\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2 = \mathfrak{sl}_2 \otimes \CC[t,t^{-1}] \oplus \CC K \oplus \CC d$ that is invariant under the Chevalley involution. In particular, we have

$A_i \mapsto f \otimes t^i - e \otimes t^{-i}, \qquad G_i \mapsto h \otimes t^{-i} - h \otimes t^i.$

where $e,f,h$ are the Chevalley generators of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ .

EXAMPLES:

We construct the Onsager algebra and do some basic computations:

sage: O = lie_algebras.OnsagerAlgebra(QQ)
sage: O.inject_variables()
Defining A0, A1

We verify the defining relations:

sage: O([A0, [A0, [A0, A1]]]) == -4 * O([A0, A1])
True
sage: O([A1, [A1, [A1, A0]]]) == -4 * O([A1, A0])
True

We check the embedding into $\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2$ :

sage: L = LieAlgebra(QQ, cartan_type=['A',1,1])
sage: B = L.basis()
sage: al = RootSystem(['A',1]).root_lattice().simple_root(1)
sage: ac = al.associated_coroot()
sage: def emb_A(i): return B[-al,i] - B[al,-i]
sage: def emb_G(i): return B[ac,i] - B[ac,-i]
sage: a0 = emb_A(0)
sage: a1 = emb_A(1)
sage: L([a0, [a0, [a0, a1]]]) == -4 * L([a0, a1])
True
sage: L([a1, [a1, [a1, a0]]]) == -4 * L([a1, a0])
True

sage: all(emb_G(n).bracket(emb_A(m)) == 2*emb_A(m-n) - 2*emb_A(m+n)
....:     for m in range(-10, 10) for n in range(1,10))
True
sage: all(emb_A(m).bracket(emb_A(mp)) == emb_G(m-mp)
....:     for m in range(-10,10) for mp in range(m-10, m))
True

class sage.algebras.lie_algebras.onsager.QuantumOnsagerAlgebra(g, q, c)¶

Bases: sage.combinat.free_module.CombinatorialFreeModule

The quantum Onsager algebra.

The quantum Onsager algebra, or $q$ -Onsager algebra, is a quantum group analog of the Onsager algebra. It is the left (or right) coideal subalgebra of the quantum group $U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)$ and is the simplest example of a quantum symmetric pair coideal subalgebra of affine type.

The $q$ -Onsager algebra depends on a parameter $c$ such that $c(1) = 1$ . The $q$ -Onsager algebra with parameter $c$ is denoted $U_q(\mathcal{O}_R)_c$ , where $R$ is the base ring of the defining Onsager algebra.

EXAMPLES:

We create the $q$ -Onsager algebra and its generators:

sage: O = lie_algebras.OnsagerAlgebra(QQ)
sage: Q = O.quantum_group()
sage: G = Q.algebra_generators()

The generators are given as pairs, where $G[0,n]$ is the generator $B_{n\delta+\alpha_1}$ and $G[1,n]$ is the generator $B_{n\delta}$ . We use the convention that $n\delta + \alpha_1 \equiv (-n-1)\delta + \alpha_0$ .

 + (-q^6-q^4+q^2+1)*B[4d+a1] + (q^6+q^4)*B[2d+a1]

....:     x = q*a*b - ~q*b*a
....:     y = ~q*a*x - q*x*a

sage: q = Q.q()

sage: q_dolan_grady(A0, A1, q) == (q^4 + 2*q^2 + 1) * (A1*A0 - A0*A1)
