 Casimir invariant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, a Casimir invariant of a Lie algebra is a member of the center of the universal enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra.
The number of independent elements of the center of the universal enveloping algebra is also the rank in the case of a semisimple Lie algebra.
In any irreducible representation of the Lie algebra, by Schur's Lemma, any member of the center of the universal enveloping algebra commutes with everything and thus is proportional to the identity.

 Graduate Study in Algebra
Algebra is one of the oldest branches of mathematics, and the study of algebra in the Department of Mathematics has traditionally been rich and strong.
The research strengths of the faculty are in the theory of rings (commutative and noncommutative), the theory of groups, algebraic number theory, the representation theory of groups and algebras, and algebraic geometry.
The core graduate courses in algebra are Abstract Algebra I and II (Math 500 and 501).

 Station Information - Universal enveloping algebra
In mathematics, the universal enveloping algebra construction of abstract algebra is applied to a Lie algebra L in order to pass from a non-associative structure to a more familiar and associative algebra over a field U(L) while preserving the representation theory.
For example if L is a vector space V as abelian Lie algebra, the left-invariant differential operators are the constant coefficient operators, which are indeed a polynomial algebra in the partial derivatives of first order.
The algebra of differential operators in n variables with polynomial coefficients may be obtained starting with the Lie algebra of the Heisenberg group.

In a first approach, a quantum algebra can be seen as a deformation of the enveloping algebra of a (simple) Lie algebra; this structure can then be endowed with other quantities that turns it into a quasi-triangular Hopf algebra~\cite{majid}.
Considering the algebra generated by a subset of such triples (and with the corresponding relations), it is thus rather trivial to construct quantum subalgebras of the original quantum algebra.
The quantum enveloping algebra $u_q(3)$ as defined here can be made into a Hopf algebra, by defining a co-product, a co-unit and an antipode; however, for the purposes of this paper only the $q$-deformed algebra as determined by (\ref{rel}) is needed.

L acts on itself by the Lie algebra adjoint representation, and this action can be extended to a representation of L on U(L): L acts as an algebra of derivations on T(L), and this action respects the imposed relations, so it actually acts on U(L).
