5 Functions for testing Majorana representations

The output of the function MajoranaRepresentation (3.1-1) is guaranteed to be a commutative algebra generated by idempotents whose eigenspaces obey the Majorana fusion law. To check that the output is truly a Majorana algebra, one must also check that

• the inner product is a Frobenius form (see MAJORANA_TestFrobeniusForm (5.2-1));

• the inner product is positive definite (see MAJORANA_TestInnerProduct (5.2-2));

• the inner product obeys axiom M2 (Norton's inequality) (see MAJORANA_TestAxiomM2 (5.2-3));

• the algebra is primitive (see MAJORANA_TestPrimitivity (5.2-4)).

5.1 The main function

5.1-1 MajoranaAlgebraTest

Returns: true if the algebra given by rep is indeed a Majorana algebra.

Note: does not check that the algebra obeys axiom M2 (Norton's inequality), this can be separately tested using MAJORANA_TestAxiomM2 (5.2-3).

5.2 Other functions

5.2-1 MAJORANA_TestFrobeniusForm

Returns: true if the inner product given by rep.innerproducts is a Frobenius form, otherwise returns false.

5.2-2 MAJORANA_TestInnerProduct

Returns: true if the inner product given by rep.innerproducts is positive definite, otherwise returns false.

5.2-3 MAJORANA_TestAxiomM2

Returns: true if the inner product given by rep.innerproducts obeys axiom M2 (Norton's inequality), otherwise returns false.

5.2-4 MAJORANA_TestPrimitivity

Returns: true if the 1-eigenspaces of all axes are 1-dimensional, otherwise returns false.
