Bracket-width conjecture for formal current Lie algebras
Bracket-width conjecture for formal current Lie algebras
Let be a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. The bracket width of a Lie algebra is the supremum of the smallest numbers of Lie brackets needed to express elements of its derived algebra as sums of brackets. Consider the formal current Lie algebra .
Bracket-width conjecture. The bracket width of is equal to if is of type or , and to otherwise.
The paper has already established the general upper bound that every current Lie algebra has bracket width at most . This conjecture gives the expected exact value for formal power-series current algebras; the supplied text does not indicate that the remaining lower-bound and classification claims have been resolved.
