Free Lie algebras #
Given a commutative ring R
and a type X
we construct the free Lie algebra on X
with
coefficients in R
together with its universal property.

Implementation details #
Quotient of free non-unital, non-associative algebra #
We follow N. Bourbaki, Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, Chapters 1--3 and construct
the free Lie algebra as a quotient of the free non-unital, non-associative algebra. Since we do not
currently have definitions of ideals, lattices of ideals, and quotients for
NonUnitalNonAssocSemiring
, we construct our quotient using the low-level Quot
function on
an inductively-defined relation.
Alternative construction (needs PBW) #
An alternative construction of the free Lie algebra on X
is to start with the free unital
associative algebra on X
, regard it as a Lie algebra via the ring commutator, and take its
smallest Lie subalgebra containing X
. I.e.:
LieSubalgebra.lieSpan R (FreeAlgebra R X) (Set.range (FreeAlgebra.ι R))
.
However with this definition there does not seem to be an easy proof that the required universal property holds, and I don't know of a proof that avoids invoking the Poincaré–Birkhoff–Witt theorem. A related MathOverflow question is this one.

The quotient of lib R X
by the equivalence relation generated by this relation will give us
the free Lie algebra.
