AbstractWe continue our investigation of the general notion of universal enveloping algebra introduced in [A. Ardizzoni, A Milnor–Moore type theorem for primitively generated braided Bialgebras, J. Algebra 327(1) (2011), 337–365]. Namely, we study a universal enveloping algebra when it is of Poincaré–Birkhoff–Witt (PBW) type, meaning that a suitable PBW-type theorem holds. We discuss the problem of finding a basis for a universal enveloping algebra of PBW type: as an application, we recover the PBW basis both of an ordinary universal enveloping algebra and of a restricted enveloping algebra. We prove that a universal enveloping algebra is of PBW type if and only if it is cosymmetric. We characterise braided bialgebra liftings of Nichols algebras as universal enveloping algebras of PBW type.

This paper presents new generators for the center of the universal enveloping algebra of the symplectic Lie algebra. These generators are expressed in terms of the column-permanent and it is easy to calculate their eigenvalues on irreducible representations. We can regard these generators as the counterpart of central elements of the universal enveloping algebra of the orthogonal Lie algebra given in terms of the column-determinant by Wachi. The earliest prototype of all these central elements is the Capelli determinants in the universal enveloping algebra of the general linear Lie algebra.

We describe a type of Lie colour algebra, which we call generic, whose universal enveloping algebra is a domain with finite global dimension. Moreover, it is an iterated Ore extension. We provide an application and show Gröbner basis methods can be used to study universal enveloping algebras of factors of generic Lie colour algebras.

Abstract Given a symmetric operad $\mathcal{P}$ and a $\mathcal{P}$-algebra $V$, the associative universal enveloping algebra ${\textsf{U}_{\mathcal{P}}}$ is an associative algebra whose category of modules is isomorphic to the abelian category of $V$-modules. We study the notion of PBW property for universal enveloping algebras over an operad. In case $\mathcal{P}$ is Koszul a criterion for the PBW property is found. A necessary condition on the Hilbert series for $\mathcal{P}$ is discovered. Moreover, given any symmetric operad $\mathcal{P}$, together with a Gröbner basis $G$, a condition is given in terms of the structure of the underlying trees associated with leading monomials of $G$, sufficient for the PBW property to hold. Examples are provided.

Two quantum enveloping algebras UR and ÛR are associated in [RTF] to any Yang-Baxter operator R. These are constructed as subalgebras of A(R)* with specific generating sets. Also, [RTF] construct specific relations on the generators for UR, leaving open the question whether these generate all relations on these generators—let us say R is “perfect” when this is the case. Given an [Formula: see text] -tuple [Formula: see text] of nonzero elements qij,r in the groundfield, ([AST], [R], [S]) construct a multiparameter deformation [Formula: see text] of GLN associated with a Yang-Baxter operator [Formula: see text]. The method of ‘braiding maps’, introduced in [LT], is applied, in order to derive a PBW basis and a generators-and-relations presentation for a suitable generalization of [Formula: see text]. These results imply that [Formula: see text] is perfect, for generic [Formula: see text]. The construction [Formula: see text] is in some ways unsatisfactory if r is a root of 1. A construction [Formula: see text] is proposed, which is in some ways better behaved, coincides with [Formula: see text] if r is not a root of 1, and also makes sense over arbitrary commutative rings.

Recently, the first author and, independently, A. V. Jategaonkar have shown that every factor ring of U(g), the universal enveloping algebra of a finite dimensional complex Lie algebra, has a primary decomposition if g is solvable and almost algebraic. On the other hand, a suitable factor ring of U(SL(2, ℂ) fails to have a primary decomposition (1).

In this work we are concerned with the universal associative envelope of a finite-dimensional simple symplectic anti-Jordan triple system (AJTS). We prove that if 𝕋 is a triple system as above, then there exists an associative algebra U(𝕋) and an injective homomorphism ε : 𝕋 → U(𝕋), where U(𝕋) is an AJTS under the triple product defined by (a,b,c) = abc - cba. Moreover, U(𝕋) is a universal object with respect to such homomorphisms. We explicitly determine the PBW-basis of U(𝕋), the center Z(U(𝕋)) and the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of U(𝕋).

We study the interaction between the block decompositions of reduced enveloping algebras in positive characteristic, the Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt (PBW) filtration, and the nilpotent cone. We provide two natural versions of the PBW filtration on the block subalgebra [Formula: see text] of the restricted universal enveloping algebra [Formula: see text] and show these are dual to each other. We also consider a shifted PBW filtration for which we relate the associated graded algebra to the algebra of functions on the Frobenius neighborhood of [Formula: see text] in the nilpotent cone and the coinvariants algebra corresponding to [Formula: see text]. In the case of [Formula: see text] in characteristic [Formula: see text] we determine the associated graded algebras of these filtrations on block subalgebras of [Formula: see text]. We also apply this to determine the structure of the adjoint representation of [Formula: see text].

AbstractThe universal enveloping algebra, U(𝔤), of a Lie algebra 𝔤 supports some norms and seminorms that have arisen naturally in the context of heat kernel analysis on Lie groups. These norms and seminorms are investigated here from an algebraic viewpoint. It is shown that the norms corresponding to heat kernels on the associated Lie groups decompose as product norms under the natural isomorphism . The seminorms corresponding to Green's functions are examined at a purely Lie algebra level for sl (2, ℂ). It is also shown that the algebraic dual space U′ is spanned by its finite rank elements if and only if 𝔤 is nilpotent.
