Weight spaces of Lie modules of nilpotent Lie algebras #
Just as a key tool when studying the behaviour of a linear operator is to decompose the space on
which it acts into a sum of (generalised) eigenspaces, a key tool when studying a representation M
of Lie algebra L
is to decompose M
into a sum of simultaneous eigenspaces of x
as x
ranges
over L
. These simultaneous generalised eigenspaces are known as the weight spaces of M
.
When L
is nilpotent, it follows from the binomial theorem that weight spaces are Lie submodules.
Basic definitions and properties of the above ideas are provided in this file.

If M
is a representation of a nilpotent Lie algebra L
, χ
is a scalar, and x : L
, then
weightSpaceOf M χ x
is the maximal generalized χ
-eigenspace of the action of x
on M
.
It is a Lie submodule because L
is nilpotent.
Equations
- LieModule.weightSpaceOf M χ x = let __src := Module.End.maximalGeneralizedEigenspace ((LieModule.toEndomorphism R L M) x) χ; { toSubmodule := __src, lie_mem := ⋯ }
Instances For
If M
is a representation of a nilpotent Lie algebra L
and χ : L → R
is a family of
scalars, then weightSpace M χ
is the intersection of the maximal generalized χ x
-eigenspaces of
the action of x
on M
as x
ranges over L
.
It is a Lie submodule because L
is nilpotent.

A (nilpotent) Lie algebra acts nilpotently on the zero weight space of a Noetherian Lie module.
By Engel's theorem, the zero weight space of a Noetherian Lie module is nilpotent.

If M
is a representation of a nilpotent Lie algebra L
, and x : L
, then
posFittingCompOf R M x
is the infimum of the decreasing system
range φₓ ⊇ range φₓ² ⊇ range φₓ³ ⊇ ⋯
where φₓ : End R M := toEndomorphism R L M x
. We call this
the "positive Fitting component" because with appropriate assumptions (e.g., R
is a field and
M
is finite-dimensional) φₓ
induces the so-called Fitting decomposition: M = M₀ ⊕ M₁
where
M₀ = weightSpaceOf M 0 x
and M₁ = posFittingCompOf R M x
.
It is a Lie submodule because L
is nilpotent.
Equations
- LieModule.posFittingCompOf R M x = { toSubmodule := ⨅ (k : ℕ), LinearMap.range ((LieModule.toEndomorphism R L M) x ^ k), lie_mem := ⋯ }

If M
