Matrix Representations of Su(3) and Sl(3,C) Lie Algebras Via Fortran 90

Authors: Richard Shurtleff

The Fortran 90 program included in this article calculates eight matrices that form a basis of the sl(3,C) Lie algebra in an irreducible representation of the user's choice. A quick linear transformation yields a basis for the su(3) Lie algebra. The program checks that the generators satisfy the necessary commutation relations and saves the matrix generators to data files.
