qdim -- Compute principal specialization of character or quantum dimension

Usage:

qdim M

qdim(M,l)
Inputs:
- M, an instance of the type LieAlgebraModule,
- l, an integer,
Outputs:
- P, a ring element,

Description

qdim M computes the principal specialization of the character of M. qdim (M,l) evaluates it modulo the appropriate cyclotomic polynomial, so that upon specialization of the variable $q$ to be the corresponding root of unity of smallest positive argument, it provides the quantum dimension of M.

Ways to use qdim:

qdim(LieAlgebraModule)
qdim(LieAlgebraModule,ZZ)

For the programmer

The object qdim is a method function.
