Quantization of Lie bialgebras and shuffle algebras of Lie algebras

To any field \Bbb K \Bbb K of characteristic zero, we associate a set (\mathbbK) (\mathbb{K}) and a group G₀(\Bbb K) {\cal G}_0(\Bbb K) . Elements of (\mathbbK) (\mathbb{K}) are equivalence classes of families of Lie polynomials subject to associativity relations. Elements of G₀(\Bbb K) {\cal G}_0(\Bbb K) are universal automorphisms of the adjoint representations of Lie bialgebras over \Bbb K \Bbb K . We construct a bijection between (\mathbbK)×G₀(\Bbb K) (\mathbb{K})\times{\cal G}_0(\Bbb K) and the set of quantization functors of Lie bialgebras over \Bbb K \Bbb K . This construction involves the following steps.? 1) To each element v \varpi of (\mathbbK) (\mathbb{K}) , we associate a functor \frak a?\operatornameSh^v(\frak a) \frak a\mapsto\operatorname{Sh}^\varpi(\frak a) from the category of Lie algebras to that of Hopf algebras; \operatornameSh^v(\frak a) \operatorname{Sh}^\varpi(\frak a) contains U\frak a U\frak a .? 2) When \frak a \frak a and \frak b \frak b are Lie algebras, and r_{\frak a\frak b} ? \frak a?\frak b r_{\frak a\frak b} \in\frak a\otimes\frak b , we construct an element ?^v (r_{\frak a\frak b}) {\cal R}^{\varpi} (r_{\frak a\frak b}) of \operatornameSh^v(\frak a)?\operatornameSh^v(\frak b) \operatorname{Sh}^\varpi(\frak a)\otimes\operatorname{Sh}^\varpi(\frak b) satisfying quasitriangularity identities; in particular, ?^v(r_{\frak a\frak b}) {\cal R}^\varpi(r_{\frak a\frak b}) defines a Hopf algebra morphism from \operatornameSh^v(\frak a)^* \operatorname{Sh}^\varpi(\frak a)^* to \operatornameSh^v(\frak b) \operatorname{Sh}^\varpi(\frak b) .? 3) When \frak a = \frak b \frak a = \frak b and r_\frak a ? \frak a?\frak a r_\frak a\in\frak a\otimes\frak a is a solution of CYBE, we construct a series r^v(r_\frak a) \rho^\varpi(r_\frak a) such that ?^v(r^v(r_\frak a)) {\cal R}^\varpi(\rho^\varpi(r_\frak a)) is a solution of QYBE. The expression of r^v(r_\frak a) \rho^\varpi(r_\frak a) in terms of r_\frak a r_\frak a involves Lie polynomials, and we show that this expression is unique at a universal level. This step relies on vanishing statements for cohomologies arising from universal algebras for the solutions of CYBE.? 4) We define the quantization of a Lie bialgebra \frak g \frak g as the image of the morphism defined by ?^v(r^v(r)) {\cal R}^\varpi(\rho^\varpi(r)) , where r ? \mathfrakg ?\mathfrakg^* r \in \mathfrak{g} \otimes \mathfrak{g}^* .<\P>     

Jacobi-type identities in algebras and superalgebras

We introduce two remarkable identities written in terms of single commutators and anticommutators for any three elements of an arbitrary associative algebra. One is a consequence of the other (fundamental identity). From the fundamental identity, we derive a set of four identities (one of which is the Jacobi identity) represented in terms of double commutators and anticommutators. We establish that two of the four identities are independent and show that if the fundamental identity holds for an algebra, then the multiplication operation in that algebra is associative. We find a generalization of the obtained results to the super case and give a generalization of the fundamental identity in the case of arbitrary elements. For nondegenerate even symplectic (super)manifolds, we discuss analogues of the fundamental identity.     

Symmetric identities and restricted Lie algebras

We use symmetric identities to study centres of reduced enveloping algebras of restricted Lie algebras. We formulate a criterion for a reduced centre to map injectively into a reduced enveloping algebra.     

Poisson identities of enveloping algebras

Let L be a restricted Lie algebra. The symmetric algebra S_p(L) of the restricted enveloping algebra u(L) has the structure of a Poisson algebra. We give necessary and sufficient conditions on L in order for the symmetric algebra S_p(L) to satisfy a multilinear Poisson identity. We also settle the same problem for the symmetric algebra S(L) of a Lie algebra L over an arbitrary field. The first author was partially supported by MIUR of Italy.

Correlation of Poisson algebras and Lie algebras in the language of identities

In the paper, the varieties of Poisson algebras whose ideals of identities contain the identity {x, y}· {z, t} = 0 are studied, and the correlation of these varieties with varieties of Lie algebras is investigated. A variety of Poisson algebras of almost exponential growth is presented. An example of a variety of Poisson algebras with fractional exponent is also given.     

Capelli identities for classical Lie algebras

We extend the Capelli identity from the Lie algebra to the other classical Lie algebras and . We employ the theory of reductive dual pairs due to Howe. Received: 12 February 1997 / in revised form: 24 July 1998     

Operator algebras with contractive approximate identities

We give several applications of a recent theorem of the second author, which solved a conjecture of the first author with Hay and Neal, concerning contractive approximate identities; and another of Hay from the theory of noncommutative peak sets, thereby putting the latter theory on a much firmer foundation. From this theorem it emerges there is a surprising amount of positivity present in any operator algebras with contractive approximate identity. We exploit this to generalize several results previously available only for C^?-algebras, and we give many other applications.

Reflection-closed varieties of multisorted algebras and minor identities

The notion of reflection is considered in the setting of multisorted algebras. The Galois connection induced by the satisfaction relation between multisorted algebras and minor identities provides a characterization of reflection-closed varieties: a variety of multisorted algebras is reflection-closed if and only if it is definable by minor identities. Minor-equational theories of multisorted algebras are described by explicit closure conditions. It is also observed that nontrivial varieties of multisorted algebras of a non-composable type are reflection-closed.
