Review text

The \textit{length} of an element \(z\) of a Lie algebra \(L\) is defined as the smallest number \(s\) needed to represent \(z\) as a sum of \(s\) brackets. The \textit{bracket width} of \(L\) is defined as supremum of the lengths of its elements. Given a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra \(\mathfrak g\) over an algebraically closed field \(k\) of characteristic zero, the authors study the bracket width of current Lie algebras \(L=\mathfrak g\otimes A\). They show that for an arbitrary \(A\) the width is at most \(2\). For \(A=kt\) and \(A=k[t]\) authors compute the width for algebras of types A and C.\N\NThe subject has very deep relations. I recommend having a look on reviews [\textit{A. Kanel-Belov} et al., SIGMA, Symmetry Integrability Geom. Methods Appl. 16, Paper 071, 61 p. (2020; Zbl 1459.16012)] and [\textit{N. L. Gordeev} et al., Russ. Math. Surv. 73, No. 5, 753--796 (2018; Zbl 1442.20028); translation from Usp. Mat. Nauk 73, No. 5, 3--52 (2018)].
