Abstract: An earlier work of the author's showed that it was possible to adapt the Alekseev-Meinrenken Chern-Weil proof of the Duflo isomorphism to obtain a completely combinatorial proof of the Wheeling isomorphism. That work depended on a certain combinatorial identity, which said that a certain composition of elementary combinatorial operations arising from the proof was precisely the Wheeling operation. The identity can be summarized as follows: The Wheeling operation is just a graded averaging map in a space enlarging the space of Jacobi diagrams. The purpose of this paper is to present a detailed and self-contained proof of this identity. The proof broadly follows similar calculations in the Alekseev-Meinrenken theory, though the details here are somewhat different, as the algebraic manipulations in the original are replaced with arguments concerning the enumerative combinatorics of formal power series of graphs with graded legs.

Review text

The Duflo isomorphism establishes a ring isomorphism between invariants in the symmetric tensor powers of the adjoint representations of a Lie algebra and the center of its universal enveloping algebra. A combinatorial strengthening of this isomorphism is known as the wheeling isomorphism. In earlier work, the author adapted the Alekseev-Meinrenken Chern-Weil proof of the Duflo isomorphism to obtain a combinatorial proof of the wheeling isomorphism. In this paper a combinatorial identity, which expresses the wheeling operation and appeared in that proof, is studied in further detail.
