Abstract

In this paper we establish a Gr\"{o}bner-Shirshov bases theory for Lie algebras over commutative rings. As applications we give some new examples of special Lie algebras (those embeddable in associative algebras over the same ring) and non-special Lie algebras (following a suggestion of P.M. Cohn (1963) \cite{Conh}). In particular, Cohn's Lie algebras over the characteristic pp are non-special when p=2, 3, 5p=2,\ 3,\ 5. We present an algorithm that one can check for any pp, whether Cohn's Lie algebras is non-special. Also we prove that any finitely or countably generated Lie algebra is embeddable in a two-generated Lie algebra.
