The Weyl modules package

This is the README file for the GAP package “WeylModules”. You must have a working copy of GAP installed in order to use this package.

The package provides functions for doing computations with Weyl modules in positive characteristic for a simple simply-connected algebraic group.

For updates between releases check the package Web page, at https://github.com/srdoty/WeylModulesNew.

After downloading the package, start GAP and then run the following two commands to load the package:

gap> SetPackagePath("WeylModules","path/to/your/copy");
gap> LoadPackage("WeylModules");

For further details, please see Chapter 76 of the GAP Manual.

The manual for the WeylModules package can be generated in the doc subdirectory by running the command

$ gap makedoc.g

from the download folder. Then look for doc/manual.pdf or doc/chap0.html (depending on your formatting preference).

It may be useful to rename the download folder from “WeylModulesNew” to “WeylModules”. Depending where you put the download folder, this may allow to avoid setting the path every time.
