Abstract

We describe an algorithm for computing the Lie cover and multiplier of a finite dimensional Lie algebra over a field. A variant of the algorithm can, in certain cases, be used to compute the Leibniz cover of a Lie algebra. The algorithm has been implemented in GAP and the paper presents some computer examples.
