Extract

Let L be a finite-dimensional Lie algebra and U(L) its universal envelope. It is known that U(L) is a Noetherian domain (see (5), theorem v. 3·4) and therefore U(L) has a field of fractions. (Throughout the paper we use the term ‘field’ in the sense of skew field.) We prove in this article the following theorem.
