Apr 29, 2018 at 19:37 comment added Prof. Legolasov @AccidentalFourierTransform I think I get it now, thanks! So basically, we are considering the universal enveloping algebra instead of the Lie algebra itself. And we are using the unit from that enveloping algebra here. Right?
Apr 29, 2018 at 19:28 comment added AccidentalFourierTransform @SolenodonParadoxus It's like when considering central extensions: $\hat{\mathfrak g}=\mathfrak{g}\oplus \mathbb C{\bf 1}$, where ${\bf 1}$ commutes with everything. Right?
Apr 29, 2018 at 18:41 comment added Prof. Legolasov Could you explain what it means to “formally extend a Lie algebra with a unit element”, please?
