On the Jordan kernel of a universal enveloping algebra (Q1824022): Difference between revisions

The Jordan kernel of an L-module, L being a finite dimensional Lie algebra, is the sum of all its weight subspaces under the action of L. The authors prove that the Jordan kernel of the division ring of quotients D(L) of the enveloping algebra U(L) of a finite dimensional Lie algebra L over a field k of characteristic zero is isomorphic to the group ring of the free abelian group of weights of L in D(L) over a Weyl algebra \(A_ m(Z)\) where Z is a polynomial ring over the centre Z(D(L)) of D(L). There are also many other interesting results concerning maximal orders, unique factorization domains, Gel'fand-Kirillov dimension. Special emphasize is laid on Frobenius-Lie algebras.
