Thank you for the feedback. I will review the existing software. (1) Am I correct that there is currently no "wrapper" for LiE using SAGE? Is such a wrapper planned? How about for du Cloux/Adams ATLAS project? (2) I will try to review the existing software and perhaps make a precise wish-lis

Feedback: (1) Welcome to the group and thanks for your interesting ideas. (2) I think what has already been done should be carefully laid out, as was done with the graph-theory software page http://www.sagemath.org:9001/Software_surveys The ones I can think of (which include representation theory

Wow!! This sound very interesting. To reduce the work it would be nice if there was already some software that did some of these things. External programs can be seamlessly incorporated into Sage through pexpect (or even pipes and such for small things). I think GAP (available through an interfa

I've just joined the google group - I thought I should clarify what I'm thinking about. The basic "type" for a split reductive group would be a root datum - the usual finite free Z-module with a subset of roots. One would have refined types, for root datum with choice of positive system of roots

I'm not sure that exceptly the intended input and output would be. Does one want symbolic computations of group elements? Manipulation of root data? (LiE does some fo that: http://www-math.univ-poitiers.fr/~maavl/LiE/. BTW, I wrote Marc van Leeuwen some time ago and asked if it was GPL'd. He didn
