Abstract

If VV is a vector space over a field FF, then we consider the projection from the tensor algebra to the symmetric algebra, ρT,S:T(V)S(V)\rho_{T,S}:T(V)\to S(V). Our main result, in §\S1, gives a description of kerρT,S\ker\rho_{T,S}. Explicitly, we consider the Z2{\mathbb Z}_{\geq 2}-graded T(V)T(V)-bimodule T(V)Λ2(V)T(V)T(V)\otimes\Lambda^2(V)\otimes T(V) and we define M(V)=(T(V)Λ2(V)T(V))/WM(V)M(V)=(T(V)\otimes\Lambda^2(V)\otimes T(V))/W_M(V), where WM(V)W_M(V) is the subbimodule of T(V)Λ2(V)T(V)T(V)\otimes\Lambda^2(V)\otimes T(V) generated by [x,y]ξztxyξ[z,t][x,y]\otimes\xi\otimes z\wedge t-x\wedge y\otimes\xi\otimes [z,t], with x,y,z,tVx,y,z,t\in V and ξT(V)\xi\in T(V). [x,yz]+[y,zx]+[z,xy][x,y\wedge z]+[y,z\wedge x]+[z,x\wedge y], with x,y,zVx,y,z\in V. (If ηT(V)\eta\in T(V) and ξT(V)Λ2(V)T(V)\xi\in T(V)\otimes\Lambda^2(V)\otimes T(V) (or vice-versa) then [η,ξ]:=ηξξηT(V)Λ2(V)T(V)[\eta,\xi ]:=\eta\otimes\xi -\xi\otimes\eta\in T(V)\otimes\Lambda^2(V)\otimes T(V).) Then M(V)M(V) is a Z2{\mathbb Z}_{\geq 2}-graded T(V)T(V)-bimodule. If ηT(V)Λ2(V)T(V)\eta\in T(V)\otimes\Lambda^2(V)\otimes T(V) the we denote by [η][\eta ] its class in M(V)M(V). Theorem{\bf Theorem} We have an exact sequence 0M(V)ρM,TT(V)ρT,SS(V)0,0\to M(V)\xrightarrow{\rho_{M,T}}T(V)\xrightarrow{\rho_{T,S}}S(V)\to 0, where ρM,T\rho_{M,T} is given by [ηxyξ]η[x,y]ξ[\eta\otimes x\wedge y\otimes \xi ]\mapsto\eta\otimes [x,y]\otimes\xi x,yV\forall x,y\in V, η,ξT(V)\eta,\xi\in T(V). In §\S2 we define the graded algebra S(V)=T(V)/WS(V)S'(V)=T(V)/W_{S'}(V), where S(V)T(V)S'(V)\subseteq T(V) is the ideal generated by xyzyzxx\otimes y\otimes z- y\otimes z\otimes x, x,y,zVx,y,z\in V, and we prove that there is a n exact sequence 0Λ2(V)ρΛ2,SS(V)ρS,SS(V)0.0\to\Lambda^{\geq 2}(V)\xrightarrow{\rho_{\Lambda^{\geq 2},S'}}S'(V)\xrightarrow{\rho_{S',S}}S(V)\to 0. When we consider the homogeneous parts of degree 22 we have M2(V)=Λ2(V)M^2(V)=\Lambda^2(V) and S2(V)=T2(V)S'^2(V)=T^2(V). Then both short exact sequences above become 0Λ2(V)T2(V)S2(V)00\to\Lambda^2(V)\to T^2(V)\to S^2(V)\to 0 where the first morphism is given by xy[x,y]=xyyxx\wedge y\mapsto [x,y]=x\otimes y-y\otimes x, a well known result.
