Extract

In (1) it is claimed that the main results of that paper have applications to the representation theory of algebraic groups, of polycyclic groups and of Lie algebras. An application to algebraic groups is given in Corollary 6·4 of (1), the applications to polycyclic groups are given in (2), the purpose of this work is to deal with the outstanding case of enveloping algebras. To make use of the results of (1), in this context, we show that the Hopf algebra dual of the enveloping algebra of a finite dimensional Lie algebra over a field of characteristic zero is quasi-affine (see § 1·5). This is done by an easy field extension argument and a generalization, to the Hopf algebra dual of the smash product of Hopf algebras, of Proposition 1·6·3 of (2) on the dual of the group algebra of a semidirect product of groups. Since this paper is aimed at those readers interested in enveloping algebras, the Hopf theoretic aspects are dealt with at a fairly leisurely pace.
