Universal enveloping algebra of an abelian Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$

46 Views Asked by At

Corollary. For each abelian Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, its universal enveloping algebra is given by $(\mathfrak{S(g)},i)$, where:

$\cdot\mathfrak{S(g)}$ is the symmetric algebra of $\mathfrak{g}$, i.e. $$\mathfrak{S(g)}:=T(\mathfrak{g})/I, $$ where $I \subset T(\mathfrak{g})$ is the two-sided ideal generated by the elements $x \otimes y-y \otimes x$, with $x,y \in \mathfrak{g}$,

$\cdot i:\mathfrak{g} \rightarrow \mathfrak{S(g)}$ is the injective linear map given by $i(x)=x+I.$

I'm try to understand this corollary, but i can't show why the linear map $i:\mathfrak{g} \rightarrow \mathfrak{S(g)}$ is injective.

It should be simple but I can't prove it. Is the anyone who can help me?
