Representations and constructions for Euclidean Jordan algebras.

A Euclidean Jordan algebra is a Jordan algebra that has some
additional properties:

  1.   It is finite-dimensional.
  2.   Its scalar field is the real numbers.
  3a.  An inner product is defined on it, and...
  3b.  That inner product is compatible with the Jordan product
       in the sense that `<x*y,z> = <y,x*z>` for all elements
       `x,y,z` in the algebra.

Every Euclidean Jordan algebra is formally-real: for any two elements
`x` and `y` in the algebra, `x^{2} + y^{2} = 0` implies that `x = y =
0`. Conversely, every finite-dimensional formally-real Jordan algebra
can be made into a Euclidean Jordan algebra with an appropriate choice
of inner-product.

Formally-real Jordan algebras were originally studied as a framework
for quantum mechanics. Today, Euclidean Jordan algebras are crucial in
symmetric cone optimization, since every symmetric cone arises as the
cone of squares in some Euclidean Jordan algebra.

It is known that every Euclidean Jordan algebra decomposes into an
orthogonal direct sum (essentially, a Cartesian product) of simple
algebras, and that moreover, up to Jordan-algebra isomorphism, there
are only five families of simple algebras. We provide constructions
for these simple algebras:

  * :class:`BilinearFormEJA`
  * :class:`RealSymmetricEJA`
  * :class:`ComplexHermitianEJA`
  * :class:`QuaternionHermitianEJA`

Missing from this list is the algebra of three-by-three octononion
Hermitian matrices, as there is (as of yet) no implementation of the
octonions in SageMath. In addition to these, we provide two other
example constructions,

  * :class:`HadamardEJA`
  * :class:`TrivialEJA`

The Jordan spin algebra is a bilinear form algebra where the bilinear
form is the identity. The Hadamard EJA is simply a Cartesian product
of one-dimensional spin algebras. And last but not least, the trivial
EJA is exactly what you think. Cartesian products of these are also
supported using the usual ``cartesian_product()`` function; as a
result, we support (up to isomorphism) all Euclidean Jordan algebras
that don't involve octonions.

    A finite-dimensional Euclidean Jordan algebra.

    INPUT:

      - ``basis`` -- a tuple; a tuple of basis elements in "matrix
        form," which must be the same form as the arguments to
        ``jordan_product`` and ``inner_product``. In reality, "matrix
        form" can be either vectors, matrices, or a Cartesian product
        (ordered tuple) of vectors or matrices. All of these would
        ideally be vector spaces in sage with no special-casing
        needed; but in reality we turn vectors into column-matrices
        and Cartesian products `(a,b)` into column matrices
        `(a,b)^{T}` after converting `a` and `b` themselves.

      - ``jordan_product`` -- a function; afunction of two ``basis``
        elements (in matrix form) that returns their jordan product,
        also in matrix form; this will be applied to ``basis`` to
        compute a multiplication table for the algebra.

      - ``inner_product`` -- a function; a function of two ``basis``
        elements (in matrix form) that returns their inner
        product. This will be applied to ``basis`` to compute an
        inner-product table (basically a matrix) for this algebra.

      - ``field`` -- a subfield of the reals (default: ``AA``); the scalar
        field for the algebra.

      - ``orthonormalize`` -- boolean (default: ``True``); whether or
        not to orthonormalize the basis. Doing so is expensive and
        generally rules out using the rationals as your ``field``, but
        is required for spectral decompositions.

        Every finite-dimensional Euclidean Jordan Algebra is a, up to

        algebras---four of which comprise Hermitian matrices. And the
        last type of algebra can of course be thought of as `n`-by-`1`
        column matrices (ambiguusly called column vectors) to avoid
        special cases. As a result, matrices (and column vectors) are
        a natural representation format for Euclidean Jordan algebra
        elements.

        But, when we construct an algebra from a basis of matrices,
        those matrix representations are lost in favor of coordinate
        vectors *with respect to* that basis. We could eventually
        convert back if we tried hard enough, but having the original
        representations handy is valuable enough that we simply store
        them and return them from this method.

    (<Bx,y>,y_bar>, x0*y_bar + y0*x_bar)`` where `B = 1 \times B22` is
    a symmetric positive-definite "bilinear form" matrix. Its
    dimension is the size of `B`, and it has rank two in dimensions
    larger than two. It reduces to the ``JordanSpinEJA`` when `B` is
    the identity matrix of order ``n``.

    We insist that the one-by-one upper-left identity block of `B` be
    passed in as well so that we can be passed a matrix of size zero
    to construct a trivial algebra.

    SETUP::

        sage: from mjo.eja.eja_algebra import (BilinearFormEJA,
        ....:                                  JordanSpinEJA)

    EXAMPLES:

    When no bilinear form is specified, the identity matrix is used,
    and the resulting algebra is the Jordan spin algebra::

        sage: B = matrix.identity(AA,3)
        sage: J0 = BilinearFormEJA(B)
        sage: J1 = JordanSpinEJA(3)
        sage: J0.multiplication_table() == J0.multiplication_table()
        True

    An error is raised if the matrix `B` does not correspond to a
    positive-definite bilinear form::

        sage: B = matrix.random(QQ,2,3)
        sage: J = BilinearFormEJA(B)
        Traceback (most recent call last):
        ...

        Traceback (most recent call last):
        ...
        ValueError: bilinear form is not positive-definite

    TESTS:

    We can create a zero-dimensional algebra::

        sage: J = BilinearFormEJA(B)
        sage: J.basis()
        Finite family {}

    We can check the multiplication condition given in the Jordan, von
    Neumann, and Wigner paper (and also discussed on my "On the
    symmetry..." paper). Note that this relies heavily on the standard
    choice of basis, as does anything utilizing the bilinear form
    matrix.  We opt not to orthonormalize the basis, because if we
    did, we would have to normalize the `s_{i}` in a similar manner::

        ....:                                  RealSymmetricEJA)

    EXAMPLES:

    The Jordan product is inherited from our factors and implemented by
    our CombinatorialFreeModule Cartesian product superclass::

        sage: set_random_seed()
        sage: J1 = HadamardEJA(2)
        sage: J2 = RealSymmetricEJA(2)
        sage: J = cartesian_product([J1,J2])
        sage: x,y = J.random_elements(2)
        sage: x*y in J
        True

    The ability to retrieve the original factors is implemented by our
    CombinatorialFreeModule Cartesian product superclass::

        sage: J1 = HadamardEJA(2, field=QQ)
        sage: J2 = JordanSpinEJA(3, field=QQ)
        sage: J = cartesian_product([J1,J2])
        sage: J.cartesian_factors()
        (Euclidean Jordan algebra of dimension 2 over Rational Field,
         Euclidean Jordan algebra of dimension 3 over Rational Field)

    You can provide more than two factors::

        sage: J1 = HadamardEJA(2)
        sage: J2 = JordanSpinEJA(3)
        sage: J3 = RealSymmetricEJA(3)
        sage: cartesian_product([J1,J2,J3])
        Euclidean Jordan algebra of dimension 2 over Algebraic Real
        Field (+) Euclidean Jordan algebra of dimension 3 over Algebraic
        Real Field (+) Euclidean Jordan algebra of dimension 6 over
        Algebraic Real Field

    Rank is additive on a Cartesian product::

        sage: J1 = HadamardEJA(1)
        sage: J2 = RealSymmetricEJA(2)
        sage: J = cartesian_product([J1,J2])
        sage: J1.rank.clear_cache()
        sage: J2.rank.clear_cache()
        sage: J.rank.clear_cache()
        sage: J.rank()
        3
        sage: J.rank() == J1.rank() + J2.rank()
        True

    The same rank computation works over the rationals, with whatever
    basis you like::

        sage: J1 = HadamardEJA(1, field=QQ, orthonormalize=False)
        sage: J2 = RealSymmetricEJA(2, field=QQ, orthonormalize=False)
        sage: J = cartesian_product([J1,J2])
        sage: J1.rank.clear_cache()
        sage: J2.rank.clear_cache()
        sage: J.rank.clear_cache()
        sage: J.rank()
        3
        sage: J.rank() == J1.rank() + J2.rank()
        True

    The product algebra will be associative if and only if all of its
    components are associative::

        sage: J1 = HadamardEJA(2)
        sage: J1.is_associative()
        True
        sage: J2 = HadamardEJA(3)
        sage: J2.is_associative()
        True
        sage: J3 = RealSymmetricEJA(3)
        sage: J3.is_associative()
        False
        sage: CP1 = cartesian_product([J1,J2])
        sage: CP1.is_associative()
        True
        sage: CP2 = cartesian_product([J1,J3])
        sage: CP2.is_associative()
        False

    TESTS:

    All factors must share the same base field::

        sage: J1 = HadamardEJA(2, field=QQ)
        sage: J2 = RealSymmetricEJA(2)
        sage: CartesianProductEJA((J1,J2))
        Traceback (most recent call last):
        ...
        ValueError: all factors must share the same base field

    The cached unit element is the same one that would be computed::

        sage: set_random_seed()              # long time
        sage: J1 = random_eja()              # long time

        sage: J.one.clear_cache()            # long time
        sage: expected = J.one()             # long time
        sage: actual == expected             # long time
