Let Aq be the current algebra over F, with generators W−k, Wk+1, Gk+1, and G~k+1 for k∈N. Let λ1,λ2,… be mutually commuting indeterminates, let F[λ1,λ2,…] be their polynomial algebra, and for Y⊆Aq let ⟨Y⟩ denote the subalgebra generated by Y. PBW decomposition conjecture. The following hold: (i) F[λ1,λ2,…]→⟨W0,W−1,…⟩, λk+1↦W−k, is an algebra isomorphism; (ii) F[λ1,λ2,…]→⟨W1,W2,…⟩, λk+1↦Wk+1, is an algebra isomorphism; (iii) F[λ1,λ2,…]→⟨G1,G2,…⟩, λk+1↦Gk+1, is an algebra isomorphism; (iv) F[λ1,λ2,…]→⟨G~1,G~2,…⟩, λk+1↦G~k+1, is an algebra isomorphism; and (v) the multiplication map
⟨W0,W−1,…⟩⊗⟨G1,G2,…⟩⊗⟨G~1,G~2,…⟩⊗⟨W1,W2,…⟩→Aq,
u⊗v⊗w⊗x↦uvwx, is an isomorphism of vector spaces.
A proof would yield a PBW basis for Aq. The statement is presented as a variation on an earlier conjecture, and no resolution is supplied.
