Direct sums of Kostant-stable lattices #
Two rational representations of the same Lie algebra combine by a binary direct sum, realized as a product. The product of Kostant-stable lattices is stable, and the union of their integral weight bases is a weight basis of the product. The root subgroup action after any scalar extension is the componentwise action on the two summands.
These results allow a representation with the required weights to be added to a faithful representation while retaining explicit integral root subgroup actions. The representation, lattice, and basis use Mathlib's product constructions directly.
The product of two Kostant-stable lattices is stable in the direct sum representation.
A vector in the direct sum has a given Cartan weight exactly when both components have that weight. Zero components are allowed.
The disjoint union of two integral weight bases is a weight basis of the product lattice.
Root subgroup actions on the product lattice agree with the actions on the two summands, after extension to any commutative coefficient ring.
