Abstract:
An algebra
$R$ is said to be an
exact enveloping algebra for a Lie algebra
$L$ if
$L$ is isomorphic to the algebra
$R^{(-)}$ obtained by replacing the multiplication in
$R$ by the commutation:
$a*b:= ab- ba$. We study exact enveloping algebras of certain subalgebras of a Chevalley algebra over a field
$K$ associated with an indecomposable root system
$\Phi$. The structure constants of the Chevalley basis of this algebra are chosen with a certain arbitrariness for the
niltriangular subalgebra
$N\Phi(K)$ with the basis
$\{e_r\ |\ r\in\Phi^+\}$. The exact enveloping algebras
$R$ for
$N\Phi(K)$, which were found in 2018, depend on this choice. The notion of standard enveloping algebra is introduced. For the type
$A_{n-1}$, one of the exact enveloping algebras
$R$ is the algebra
$NT(n,K)$ of all niltriangular
$n\times n$ matrices over
$K$. The theorem of R. Dubish and S. Perlis on the ideals of
$NT(n,K)$ states that
$R$ is standard in this case. We prove that an associative exact enveloping algebra
$R$ of a Lie algebra
$NT(n,K)$ of type
$A_{n-1}$ $(n>3)$ is unique and isomorphic to
$NT(n,K)$ up to passing to the opposite algebra
$R^{({\rm op})}$. Standard enveloping algebras
$R$ are described. The existence of a standard enveloping algebra is proved for the Lie algebras
$N\Phi(K)$ of all types excepting
$D_{n}$ $(n\geq 4)$ and
$E_{n}$ $(n=6,7,8)$.
