New Results on the Lower Central Series Quotients of a Free Associative Algebra
نویسنده
چکیده
We continue the study of the lower central series and its associated graded components for a free associative algebra with n generators, as initiated in [FS]. We establish a linear bound on the degree of tensor field modules appearing in the Jordan-Hölder series of each graded component, which is conjecturally tight. We also bound the leading coefficient of the Hilbert polynomial of each graded component. As applications, we confirm conjectures of P. Etingof and B. Shoikhet concerning the structure of the third graded component.

On the Lower Central Series of Pi-algebras
In this paper we study the lower central series {Li}i≥1 of algebras with polynomial identities. More specifically, we investigate the properties of the quotients Ni = Mi/Mi+1 of successive ideals generated by the elements Li. We give a complete description of the structure of these quotients for the free metabelian associative algebra A/(A[A,A][A,A]). With methods from Polynomial Identities the...
متن کاملOn Successive Quotients of Lower Central Series Ideals for Finitely Generated Algebras
This paper examines the behavior of the successive quotients Ni(A) of the lower central series ideals Mi(A) of a nitely generated associative algebra A over Z. We de ne the lower central series Li(A) by L1(A) = A, Li+1(A) = [A,Li(A)], Mi(A) = A · Li(A) · A, and Ni(A) = Mi(A)/Mi+1(A). We decompose the Ni into its free and torsion components using the structure theorem of nitely generated abelian...
متن کاملLower Central Series of a Free Associative Algebra over the Integers and Finite Fields
Consider the free algebra An generated over Q by n generators x1, . . . , xn. Interesting objects attached to A = An are members of its lower central series, Li = Li(A), defined inductively by L1 = A, Li+1 = [A,Li], and their associated graded components Bi = Bi(A) defined as Bi = Li/Li+1. These quotients Bi for i ≥ 2, as well as the reduced quotient B̄1 = A/(L2 + AL3), exhibit a rich geometric ...
متن کاملOn the Lower Central Series Quotients of a Graded Associative Algebra
Let A be a noncommutative associative algebra, viewed as a Lie algebra via definition of the Lie bracket [x, y] = xy − yx. Define the lower central series filtration inductively by L1(A) = A, and Li+1(A) = [A,Li(A)]. Denote the components of its associated graded space by Bi(A) = Li(A)/Li+1(A). The components of the associated graded space are well understood in the cases when A = An = the free...
متن کاملWhen Does the Associated Graded Lie Algebra of an Arrangement Group Decompose?
Let A be a complex hyperplane arrangement, with fundamental group G and holonomy Lie algebra H. Suppose H3 is a free abelian group of minimum possible rank, given the values the Möbius function μ : L2 → Z takes on the rank 2 flats of A. Then the associated graded Lie algebra of G decomposes (in degrees ≥ 2) as a direct product of free Lie algebras. In particular, the ranks of the lower central ...
