Abstract

We study the center of U(n)U(\mathfrak{n}), where n\mathfrak{n} is the locally nilpotent radical of a splitting Borel subalgebra of a simple complex Lie algebra g=sl(C)\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{sl}_{\infty}(\mathbb{C}), so(C)\mathfrak{so}_{\infty}(\mathbb{C}), sp(C)\mathfrak{sp}_{\infty}(\mathbb{C}). There are infinitely many isomorphism classes of Lie algebras n\mathfrak{n}, and we provide explicit generators of the center of U(n)U(\mathfrak{n}) in all cases. We then fix n\mathfrak{n} with "largest possible" center of U(n)U(\mathfrak{n}) and characterize the centrally generated primitive ideals of U(n)U(\mathfrak{n}) for g=sl(C)\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{sl}_{\infty}(\mathbb{C}), sp(C)\mathfrak{sp}_{\infty}(\mathbb{C}) in terms of the above generators. As a preliminary result, we provide a characterization of the centrally generated primitive ideals in the enveloping algebra of the nilradical of a Borel subalgebra of sln(C)\mathfrak{sl}_n(\mathbb{C}), sp2n(C)\mathfrak{sp}_{2n}(\mathbb{C}).
