A central element in the universal enveloping algebra of type D_n via minor summation formula of Pfaffians

It is known that the universal enveloping algebra of the orthogonal Lie algebra of size even has a central element expressed in terms of Pfaffian of a certain matrix alternating along the anti-diagonal (which we call anti-alternating for short) whose entries are in the univerasal enveloping algebra. In this paper, we establish minor summation formulae of Pfaffian for the noncommutative anti-alternating matrix, as well as for commutative anti-alternating matrix. As an application, we show that the eigenvalues on the highest weight modules of the central element given by the Pfaffian can be easily computed.
