Representations of split extensions on enveloping quotients #
Let ψ : H →ₗ⁅R⁆ LieDerivation R S S define a split Lie extension, and let J be a two-sided
ideal of U(S) preserved by the lifted derivations. On U(S)/J, the element (s, h) acts as
left multiplication by the class of ι(s) plus the derivation induced by ψ(h). This gives a
representation of S ⋊⁅ψ⁆ H. Evaluating at the unit shows that its kernel on S consists
exactly of those s with ι(s) ∈ J.
In particular, if J is contained in the kernel of the enveloping extension of a starting
representation σ of S, the new representation detects every direction detected by σ.
When the quotient is finite dimensional, this is the kernel control needed to extend
finite-dimensional representations through split ideal extensions. If ψ(h) is locally nilpotent on
S and the quotient is finitely generated over R, the element (0, h) also acts nilpotently on
the quotient.
The construction uses Ado.UniversalEnvelopingAlgebra.envelopingDerivationHom to lift the
acting derivations and Ado.derivationQuotientHom to descend them to the quotient.

On the ideal summand, the extension acts by left multiplication by the canonical image.
On the complementary summand, the extension acts by the descended enveloping derivation.
Refining the enveloping kernel of a representation preserves all directions it detects:
the kernel of the new action restricted to S lies in the starting representation's kernel.
A complementary element whose derivation on the ideal is locally nilpotent acts nilpotently on any stable enveloping quotient that is finitely generated over the coefficient ring.
