PBW decomposition relative to a Lie subalgebra #
An ordered basis of a complement of a Lie subalgebra, followed by an ordered basis of the subalgebra, gives a PBW basis whose monomials factor in that order. If the complement is itself a Lie subalgebra, multiplication identifies the tensor product of the two enveloping algebras with the enveloping algebra of the ambient Lie algebra as modules. The subalgebras need not commute, so this is a linear equivalence. This is the algebraic input to triangular decomposition and to induced highest weight modules.

On pure tensors the multiplication map is multiplication in the ambient algebra.
Multiplication is bijective when two free Lie subalgebras complement each other as modules. There are no characteristic or finite-dimensionality assumptions.

The relative PBW equivalence is normalized by multiplication of the two factors.
The inverse relative PBW equivalence recovers the tensor factors of a product.
