Let F be a free Lie algebra of finite rank n and R be an ideal of F such that the universal enveloping algebra U(F/R) for F/R is an integral domain satisfying the Ore condition. We show that test rank for the Lie algebras of the form F/R′ is equal to n - 1 or n.

Let R be a principal and integral domain. We say that two differential graded free Lie algebras over R (free dgl for short) are weakly equivalent if and only if the homologies of their corresponding enveloping universal algebras are isomophic. This paper is devoted to the problem of how we can characterize the weakly equivalent class of a free dgl. Our tool to address this question is the Whitehead exact sequence. We show, under a certain condition, that two R-free dgls are weakly equivalent if and only if their Whitehead sequences are isomorphic.

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.

AbstractLet 𝔟 be the Borel subalgebra of the Lie algebra 𝔰𝔩2 and V2 be the simple two-dimensional 𝔰𝔩2-module. For the universal enveloping algebra $\[{\cal A}: = U(\gb \ltimes {V_2})\]$ of the semi-direct product 𝔟⋉V2 of Lie algebras, the prime, primitive and maximal spectra are classified. Please approve edit to the sentence “The sets of completely prime…”.The sets of completely prime ideals of $\[{\cal A}\]$ are described. The simple unfaithful $\[{\cal A}\]$-modules are classified and an explicit description of all prime factor algebras of $\[{\cal A}\]$ is given. The following classes of simple U(𝔟⋉V2)-modules are classified: the Whittaker modules, the 𝕂[X]-torsion modules and the 𝕂[E]-torsion modules.

Let L be a free Lie algebra of finite rank over a field K and let Ln denote the degree n homogeneous component of L. Formulae for the dimension of the subspaces [Lm, Ln] for all m and n were obtained by the second author and Michael Vaughan-Lee. In this note we consider subspaces of the form [Lm, Ln, Lk] = [[Lm, Ln], Lk]. Surprisingly, in contrast to the case of a product of two homogeneous components, the dimension of such products may depend on the characteristic of the field K. For example, the dimension of [L2, L2, L1] over fields of characteristic 2 is different from the dimension over fields of characteristic other than 2. Our main results are formulae for the dimension of [Lm, Ln, Lk]. Under certain conditions on m, n and k they lead to explicit formulae that do not depend on the characteristic of K, and express the dimension of [Lm, Ln, Lk] in terms of Witt's dimension function.

The existence of free Lie algebras is usually derived as a consequence of the Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt theorem. Moreover, in order to prove that (given a set and a field of characteristic zero) the Lie algebra of the Lie polynomials in the letters of (over the field ) is a free Lie algebra generated by , all available proofs use the embedding of a Lie algebra into its enveloping algebra . The aim of this paper is to give a much simpler proof of the latter fact without the aid of the cited embedding nor of the Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt theorem. As an application of our result and of a theorem due to Cartier (1956), we show the relationships existing between the theorem of Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt, the theorem of Campbell-Baker-Hausdorff, and the existence of free Lie algebras.

AbstractA coassociative Lie algebra is a Lie algebra equipped with a coassociative coalgebra structure satisfying a compatibility condition. The enveloping algebra of a coassociative Lie algebra can be viewed as a coalgebraic deformation of the usual universal enveloping algebra of a Lie algebra. This new enveloping algebra provides interesting examples of non-commutative and non-cocommutative Hopf algebras and leads to the classification of connected Hopf algebras of Gelfand–Kirillov dimension four in Wang et al. (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc., to appear).

The famous Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt theorem states that a Lie algebra, free as a module, embeds into its associative envelope—its universal enveloping algebra—as a sub-Lie algebra for the usual commutator Lie bracket. However, there is another functorial way—less known—to associate a Lie algebra to an associative algebra and inversely. Any commutative algebra equipped with a derivation , that is, a commutative differential algebra, admits a Wronskian bracket under which it becomes a Lie algebra. Conversely, to any Lie algebra a commutative differential algebra is universally associated, its Wronskian envelope, in a way similar to the associative envelope. This contribution is the beginning of an investigation of these relations between Lie algebras and differential algebras which is parallel to the classical theory. In particular, we give a sufficient condition under which a Lie algebra may be embedded into its Wronskian envelope, and we present the construction of the free Lie algebra with this property.

Let L be a free Lie algebra of finite rank. If n ≥ 1 then we let Ln denote the homogeneous subspace of L spanned by Lie products of weight n in the free generators of L. We obtain formulae for the dimensions of the subspaces [Lm,Ln] for all m and n.

AbstractWe construct an explicit set of algebraically independent generators for the center of the universal enveloping algebra of the centralizer of a nilpotent matrix in the general linear Lie algebra over a field of characteristic zero. In particular, this gives a new proof of the freeness of the center, a result first proved by Panyushev, Premet and Yakimova.

Let F be a free Lie algebra of rank n ≥ 2 and R be a fully invariant ideal of F. We show that the test rank of the Lie algebra F/[R′, F] is equal to 1 when n is even and less than or equal to 2 when n is odd.
