The Sierra–Walton conjecture on Noetherian enveloping algebras
The Sierra–Walton conjecture on Noetherian enveloping algebras
Let be a field of characteristic zero, let be a Lie algebra over , and let denote its universal enveloping algebra. Sierra–Walton conjecture. If is infinite dimensional, then is not Noetherian.
This conjecture asserts that a Noetherian universal enveloping algebra can arise only from a finite-dimensional Lie algebra. The paper introduces weakly Noetherian Lie algebras to study this question; the supplied text does not state that the conjecture has been resolved.
