The symmetric-algebra fibre of the PBW Rees algebra #
For a Lie algebra free over a commutative ring, quotienting its PBW Rees algebra by the
central parameter gives the symmetric algebra. The quotient map sends j(x) = ι(x)t
to the symmetric generator x. In particular, it is not ambient evaluation at zero,
which kills j(x).
The comparison composes the generic word-filtration symbol map with the inverse of the
native PBW equivalence pbwAssociatedGradedEquiv. Its coefficientwise kernel description
records precisely the loss of one filtration step needed to divide a commutator by the
parameter and then take its symbol.
The zero-parameter specialization of the PBW Rees algebra to the symmetric algebra.
Instances For
A linear Rees generator specializes to the corresponding symmetric generator.
The PBW zero specialization is surjective.
A Rees polynomial specializes to zero exactly when every coefficient has lower PBW degree.
The central Rees parameter specializes to zero.
The kernel of PBW zero specialization is the ideal generated by the central parameter.
The PBW zero fibre is canonically the symmetric algebra, without a choice of basis.
Instances For
The zero-fibre equivalence is induced by zero specialization.
The inverse comparison lifts each symmetric generator to the class of its Rees generator.
