The PBW Rees fibre at one #
Specializing the PBW deformation parameter to one recovers the universal enveloping algebra.
We give both the quotient by the central two-sided ideal (t - 1) and the actual tensor
base change along evaluation R[t] → R at one. The comparison sends j(x) to ι(x);
its inverse sends ι(x) to the specialized Rees generator.
These comparisons require neither freeness of the Lie algebra nor a characteristic hypothesis. They use the exhaustive PBW filtration.

Instances For
The quotient comparison evaluates any representative at parameter one.
The inverse quotient comparison takes an enveloping generator to the Rees generator class.
Tensor base change of the PBW Rees algebra at one is the enveloping algebra. The polynomial parameter acts on the left tensor factor by evaluation at one.
Instances For
The fibre comparison evaluates the Rees factor and multiplies by the scalar factor.
The inverse fibre comparison takes an enveloping generator to the specialized Rees generator.
