Branching of representations to symmetric subgroups

Abstract: Let

g g

be the Lie algebra of a compact Lie group and let

h e t a

be any automorphism of

g g

. Let

g k

denote the fixed point subalgebra

g g^{h} e t a

. In this paper we present LiE programs that, for any finite dimensional complex representation

p i

of

g g

, give the explicit branching

p i |_{g} k

of

p i

on

g k

. Cases of special interest include the cases where

h e t a

has order 2 (corresponding to compact riemannian symmetric spaces

G / K

), where

h e t a

has order 3 (corresponding to compact nearly--kaehler homogeneous spaces

G / K

), where

h e t a

has order 5 (which include the fascinating 5--symmetric space

E_{8} / A_{4} A_{4}

), and the cases where

g k

is the centralizer of a toral subalgebra of

g g

.
