This paper focuses on the structure of the center $Z(\\mathfrak{g} )$ of $U(\\mathfrak{g} )$. In the case of zero characteristic, $Z(\\mathfrak{g} )$ is generated by the centers of $\\mathfrak{g} $. In the case of prime characteristic, $Z(\\mathfrak{g} )$ is generated by the centers of $\\mathfrak{g} $ and the $p$-centers of $U(\\mathfrak{g} )$. We also study the structure of $Z(\\mathfrak{g} )$ in the semisimple Lie (super)algebra.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-05-14T05:48:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "universal enveloping algebra", "paper focuses", "zero characteristic", "prime characteristic", "semisimple lie" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
