How to write down the map $T(V)_n \to S(Lie(V))_n$ explicitly?

The natural map is rather from $TV \to U(FreeLie(V))$: consider the forgetful functors $Assoc \to Lie \to Vec$ and compose their left adjoints to get the left adjoint $T$ of the composite. Then, as ...

Free Lie algebra and nilpotent groups in Rothschild and Stein's paper

First, the notation is a little confusing. I think you are supposed to understand that $n$ is always the number of vector fields in the fixed set $\{X_1, \dots, X_n\}$. But the symbol $n$ in the ...

Criterion to construct a $\mathbb{Z}$-basis of a free $\mathbb{Z}$-Lie algebra

It turns out my intuition was wrong and the answer is "no". Take for instance $n=3$, and attribute the degree $\alpha_i$ to $x_i$, so that $L(\mathbb{Q},3)$ becomes graded by the free $\mathbb{Z}$-...

Ideal of the free Lie algebra L(x,y) generated by x

Now I know the answer on my question. First of all we note that the ideal $(x)$ is freely generated by the elements $$x,[x,y],[x,y,y],\dots$$ as a Lie algebra. Indeed, it is easy to check that they ...

Lyndon words and Hall basis

There is no simple connection. Note that there are many different Hall sets H. The Lyndon basis is not such a Hall basis. However, one can easily relax the ...
