O proximo encontro serį realizado no dia 15 de agosto, conforme abaixo: Seminario do Clube Palestrante: Prof. Renato Portugal (LNCC) Titulo: Group-theoretic Approach for Symbolic Tensor Manipulation Dia: 15/08/2001 HORARIO: 14H Local: Auditorio do 5 andar Resumo: We describe how Computational Group Theory can be used to manipulate indexed objects such as tensors, spinors, and so on. The intrinsic symmetries of the indexed objects are represented by permutation groups as well as the symmetries that describe the interchange of names of dummy indices. The problem of finding canonical forms for expressions with indexed objects reduces to finding double coset canonical representatives. This approach is useful to build algorithms for tensor manipulation which can be implemented in computer algebra systems.
