Abstract: Given a n-dimensional Lie algebra g over a field ksupsetmathbbQ, together with its vector space basis X10,...,Xn0, we give a formula, depending only on the structure constants, representing the infinitesimal generators, Xi=Xi0t in gotimeskk[[t]], where t is a formal variable, as a formal power series in t with coefficients in the Weyl algebra An. Actually, the theorem is proved for Lie algebras over arbitrary rings ksupsetQ. We provide three different proofs, each of which is expected to be useful for generalizations. The first proof is obtained by direct calculations with tensors. This involves a number of interesting combinatorial formulas in structure constants. The final step in calculation is a new formula involving Bernoulli numbers and arbitrary derivatives of coth(x/2). The dimensions of certain spaces of tensors are also calculated. The second method of proof is geometric and reduces to a calculation of formal right-invariant vector fields in specific coordinates, in a (new) variant of formal group scheme theory. The third proof uses coderivations and Hopf algebras.
