Abstract:

$\theta$-groups are a class of reductive algebraic groups arising from $\mathbb {Z}/m\mathbb {Z}$-gradings of simple Lie algebras. They were introduced by Vinberg in the 70s, who developed the theory of their orbits. In this paper we describe algorithms to compute certain objects arising in this theory, namely a Cartan subspace, and the little Weyl group. We have implemented the algorithms in the language of the computer algebra system Magma. Practical experiences with the implementations are discussed.
