Computer Approaches to the Representations of Lie Algebras ROBERT E . BECK Villanova University, ViUanova, Pennsylvania AND BERNARD KOLMAN Drexel University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania ABSTRACT. This paper surveys the methods of computing the inner multiplicities of an irreducible representation of a complex simple Lie algebra. It provides a descriptive background of Lie algebra representation theory to enable the reader to follow the computations. FORTRAN programs to evaluate inner multiplicities using the Kostant and Racah formulas are described. Their features are compared and suggestions are made for combining and extending existing programs. KEY WORDS AND PHRASES: Lie algebra, Lie group, irreducible representation, inner multiplicity, weight, partition function, Weyl group, Kostant's formula, Racah's formula, Freudenthal's formula CR CATEGORIES: 3.15, 3.17, 5.39 Introduction Lie a l g e b r a s h a v e been successfully a p p l i e d to m a n y p r o b l e m s in w i d e l y diversified fields.
