LieAlgebra / LieAlgebraMap -- make a quotient Lie algebra

Synopsis

• Operator: /

• Usage:

  Q=L/f

• Inputs:
  • L, an instance of the type LieAlgebra
  • f, an instance of the type LieAlgebraMap, a map with target $L$
• Outputs:
  • Q, an instance of the type LieAlgebra, the quotient of $L$ by the ideal generated by the image of the map $f$

Description
