A Lie algebra related to the universal Askey-Wilson algebra
Abstract
Let denote an algebraically closed field. Denote the three-element set by , and let denote the free unital associative -algebra on . Fix a nonzero such that . The universal Askey-Wilson algebra is the quotient space , where is the two-sided ideal of generated by the nine elements , where is one of , and is one of \begin{equation} (q+q^{-1}) A+\frac{qBC-q^{-1}CB}{q-q^{-1}},\nonumber \end{equation} \begin{equation} (q+q^{-1}) B+\frac{qCA-q^{-1}AC}{q-q^{-1}},\nonumber \end{equation} \begin{equation} (q+q^{-1}) C+\frac{qAB-q^{-1}BA}{q-q^{-1}}.\nonumber \end{equation} Turn into a Lie algebra with Lie bracket for all . Let denote the Lie subalgebra of generated by , which is also the free Lie algebra on . Let denote the Lie subalgebra of generated by . Since the given set of defining relations of are not in , it is natural to conjecture that is freely generated by . We give an answer in the negative by showing that the kernel of the canonical map has a nonzero intersection with . Denote the span of all Hall basis elements of of length by , and denote the image of under the canonical map by . We study some properties of and .
