Abstract:

Let be a complex semisimple Lie algebra and let , resp. , be its symmetric, resp. enveloping algebra. It is shown in [1] that finite -algebras can be realized, up to a central extension, as the algebra of invariants , resp. , for the adjoint action of a Lie subalgebra of . For nilpotent, we use the Taylor lemma to give a description (generators and relations) for these algebras.
