Abstract

We provide an explicit description of the primitive ideals of the enveloping algebra U(sl())\operatorname{U}(\frak{sl}(\infty)) of the infinite-dimensional finitary Lie algebra sl()\frak{sl}(\infty) over an uncountable algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. Our main new result is that any primitive ideal of U(sl())\operatorname{U}(\frak{sl}(\infty)) is integrable. A classification of integrable primitive ideals of U(sl())\operatorname{U}(\frak{sl}(\infty)) has been known previously, and relies on the pioneering work of A. Zhilinskii.
