The development version of the CHEVIE package of GAP3. (English) Zbl 1322.20002

Summary: I describe the current state of the development version of the CHEVIE package, which allows to transform the theories of Coxeter groups, reductive algebraic groups, complex reflection groups, Hecke algebras, braid monoids, etc. …into actual computations. Examples are given, showing the code to check some results of Lusztig.

MSC:

20-04 Software, source code, etc. for problems pertaining to group theory
68W30 Symbolic computation and algebraic computation

Software:

GAP; SageMath; CHEVIE; PyCox
