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.

Bilinear Equation

We investigate equations of the form [x,u] + [y,v] = 0 over a free Lie algebra L. In the case where u and v are free generators of L, we exhibit two series of solutions, we work out the dimensions of the homogeneous components of the solution space, and we determine its radical. In the general case we show that the results on free generator coefficients are sufficient to obtain the solution space up to finite codimension. As an application we determine the radical of the bilinear equation [x1,x2] + [x3,x4] = 0.

Characteristic 2

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.

Equivalent Class

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.

AbstractIn group theory Schreier's technique provides a basis for a subgroup of a free group. In this paper an analogue is developed for free Lie algebras. It hinges on the idea of cutting a Hall set into two parts. Using it, we show that proper subalgebras of finite codimension are not finitely generated and, following M. Hall, that a finitely generated subalgebra is a free factor of a subalgebra of finite codimension.

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.

AbstractLet R be a commutative integral unital domain and L a free noncommutative Lie algebra over R. In this article we show that the ring R and its action on L are 0-interpretable in L, viewed as a ring with the standard ring language $+ , \cdot ,0$. Furthermore, if R has characteristic zero then we prove that the elementary theory $Th\left( L \right)$ of L in the standard ring language is undecidable. To do so we show that the arithmetic ${\Bbb N} = \langle {\Bbb N}, + , \cdot ,0\rangle $ is 0-interpretable in L. This implies that the theory of $Th\left( L \right)$ has the independence property. These results answer some old questions on model theory of free Lie algebras.

AbstractLet r be a positive integer, F a field of odd prime characteristic p, and L the free Lie algebra of rank r over F. Consider L a module for the symmetric group , of all permutations of a free generating set of L. The homogeneous components Ln of L are finite dimensional submodules, and L is their direct sum. For p ≤ r ≤ 2p, the main results of this paper identify the non-porojective indecomposable direct summands of the Ln as Specht modules or dual Specht modules corresponding to certain partitions. For the case r = p, the multiplicities of these indecomposables in the direct decompositions of the Ln are also determined, as are the multiplicities of the projective indecomposables. (Corresponding results for p = 2 have been obtained elsewhere.)

In this paper we prove that every recursively presented Lie algebra over a field which is finite extention of its simple subfield can be embedded in a recursively presented Lie algebra defined by relations which are equalities of (nonassociative) words of generators and α + β = γ(α, β, γ are free generators).
