<Heading>Automorphisms of nilpotent Lie algebras</Heading>

Arg="L, gens, imgs" />

to the elements of <A>imgs</A>. It is the responsibility
of the user to make sure that the arguments are given so that the
automorphism exists. These automorphisms can be compared,
multiplied using the <A>*</A>
sign, and the inverse of such an automorphism can also be computed
in the usual manner.

<Heading>Automorphism group and isomorphism testing</Heading>
<ManSection>
<Meth Name="AutomorphismGroup"
Arg="L" />
<Description>
<A>L</A> is a nilpotent Lie algebra;
returns the automorphism group of <A>L</A> as a group
generated by &GAP; algebra automorphisms. The automorphism group
is computed as explained in <Cite Key="Sch"/>.
</Description>
</ManSection>
<ManSection>
<Meth Name="AutomorphismGroupNilpotentLieAlgebra"
Arg="L"/>
<Description>
<A>L</A> is a nilpotent Lie algebra;
returns the automorphism group of <A>L</A> in the internally used
hybrid format. The automorphism group
is computed as explained in <Cite Key="Sch"/>. The hybrid format, which is
very similar to the one used in <Cite Key="autpgrp"/>, is a
record that contains the following fields.
<List>
<Item> <C>glAutos</C>: a set of automorphisms which together with
<C>agAutos</C>
generate the automorphism group;
</Item>
<Item><C>glOrder</C>: an integer whose product with the numbers in
<C>agOrder</C> gives
the size of the automorphism group;</Item>
<Item><C>agAutos</C>: a polycyclic generating sequence for a soluble normal
subgroup of the automorphism group;</Item>
<Item><C>agOrder</C>: the relative orders corresponding to <C>agAutos</C>;
</Item>
<Item><C>liealg</C>: The Lie algebra acted upon by the automorphisms.</Item>
<Item><C>size</C>: the size of the automorphism group.</Item>
<Item><C>field</C>: the underlying field of the Lie algebra.</Item>
<Item><C>prime</C>: the characteristic of the underlying field.</Item>
</List>
We do not return an automorphism group in the standard form
because we wish to distinguish between <C>agAutos</C> and <C>glAutos</C>;
the latter act non-trivially on the derived quotient of <M>L</M>. This
hybrid-group description of the automorphism group permits more
efficient computations with it.
