Ordered monomials span the PBW filtration #
Let e : ι → L be a linearly ordered spanning family of a Lie algebra. This file proves that the
degree-k Poincaré--Birkhoff--Witt filtration of UniversalEnvelopingAlgebra R L is spanned by the
monomials
ι(e(i₁)) ⋯ ι(e(iₙ)), i₁ ≤ ⋯ ≤ iₙ, n ≤ k.
There are two steps. First, span_prod_map_eq_wordFiltration expands arbitrary Lie-algebra words in
the spanning family. Second, sorting a word in that family changes it only by a term in the
preceding filtration step, by
pbwMonomial_sub_insertionSort_mem_pbwFiltrationPrevious. Induction on the filtration degree then
absorbs this error into shorter ordered monomials.
For an arbitrary Lie homomorphism, the induced enveloping-algebra map sends the ordered monomials in a family, and their span, exactly onto those for the image family.
This is the spanning half of the ordered-monomial basis target in Layer 3 of
TauCetiRoadmap/RepresentationTheory/LieHighestWeight/README.md. Linear independence, and hence the
full PBW basis, still requires the symmetric-algebra comparison.

Membership in orderedPBWMonomials, in terms of an ordered word of family indices.
An ordered family word of length at most k gives an ordered PBW monomial of degree at most
k.
Increasing the degree bound enlarges the set of ordered PBW monomials.
Every ordered PBW monomial of degree at most k lies in the k-th PBW filtration step.
The only ordered PBW monomial of degree zero is the empty monomial 1.
An induced enveloping-algebra map sends the ordered monomials in a family exactly to the ordered monomials in its image family. This statement does not require the Lie map or the family to be surjective.
The induced enveloping-algebra map carries the span of the ordered monomials in a family onto the span of the corresponding ordered monomials in its image family.
Ordered PBW monomials span the PBW filtration. For a linearly ordered spanning family e
in L, the monomials in nondecreasing family elements of length at most k span precisely
filtration degree k of UniversalEnvelopingAlgebra R L.
This is the spanning half of PBW. The reverse information needed for a basis is linear independence,
which comes from identifying the associated graded algebra with SymmetricAlgebra R L.
The ordered PBW monomials in a linearly ordered spanning family span the whole universal enveloping algebra.
