Free group algebras in division rings with valuation II

Rings and Algebras 2019-07-10 v1

Abstract

We apply the filtered and graded methods developed in earlier works to find (noncommutative) free group algebras in division rings. If LL is a Lie algebra, we denote by U(L)U(L) its universal enveloping algebra. P. M. Cohn constructed a division ring DL\mathfrak{D}_L that contains U(L)U(L). We denote by D(L)\mathfrak{D}(L) the division subring of DL\mathfrak{D}_L generated by U(L)U(L). Let kk be a field of characteristic zero and LL be a nonabelian Lie kk-algebra. If either LL is residually nilpotent or U(L)U(L) is an Ore domain, we show that D(L)\mathfrak{D}(L) contains (noncommutative) free group algebras. In those same cases, if LL is equipped with an involution, we are able to prove that the free group algebra in D(L)\mathfrak{D}(L) can be chosen generated by symmetric elements in most cases. Let GG be a nonabelian residually torsion-free nilpotent group and k(G)k(G) be the division subring of the Malcev-Neumann series ring generated by the group algebra k[G]k[G]. If GG is equipped with an involution, we show that k(G)k(G) contains a (noncommutative) free group algebra generated by symmetric elements.
