Is there a command in sage to compute the tensor product of two Matrices coming from Algebra representations? In groups, x(v tensor w) = xv tensor xw, and the sage command Matrix1.tensor_product(Matrix2) appears to give the matrix corresponding to this. But in an algebra x(v tensor w) = xv tensor w + v tensor xw. How can I compute the corresponding matrix here?

What you need is perhaps "tensor sum", "Kronecker sum".

Hi,

If M1 is your first matrix (of dimension n1) and M2 is your second matrix (of dimension n2), then the answer should be:

M1.tensor_product(identity_matrix(n2)) + 
identity_matrix(n1).tensor_product(M2)

M1 "tensor_sum" M2 = eye(n2) "tensor_product" M1 + eye(n1) "tensor_product" M2 .. the tensor product operation is not commutative, I guess. Hence, identity_matrix(n2).tensor_product(M1) + M2.tensor_product(identity_matrix(n1)) , or?

but this command is too long.. we have to write a my_function or the function "tensor_sum" is already implemented in some packages, such as maxima, Scipy ....
