Abstract

Let LnL_n be the free metabelian Leibniz algebra generated by the set Xn={x1,,xn}X_n=\{x_1,\ldots,x_n\} over a field KK of characteristic zero. This is the free algebra of rank nn in the variety of solvable of class 22 Leibniz algebras. We call an element s(Xn)Lns(X_n)\in L_n symmetric if s(xσ(1),,xσ(n))=s(x1,,xn)s(x_{\sigma(1)},\ldots,x_{\sigma(n)})=s(x_1,\ldots,x_n) for each permutation σ\sigma of {1,,n}\{1,\ldots,n\}. The set LnSnL_n^{S_n} of symmetric polynomials of LnL_n is the algebra of invariants of the symmetric group SnS_n. Let K[Xn]K[X_n] be the usual polynomial algebra with indeterminates from XnX_n. The description of the algebra K[Xn]SnK[X_n]^{S_n} is well known, and the algebra (Ln)Sn(L_n')^{S_n} in the commutator ideal LnL_n' is a right K[Xn]SnK[X_n]^{S_n}-module. We give explicit forms of elements of the K[Xn]SnK[X_n]^{S_n}-module (Ln)Sn(L_n')^{S_n}. Additionally, we determine the description of the group Inn(LnSn){\rm Inn}(L_{n}^{S_n}) of inner automorphisms of the algebra LnSnL_n^{S_n}. The findings can be considered as a generalization of the recent results obtained for the free metabelian Lie algebra of rank nn.
