1 Introduction
Let be a field and . A differential algebra of weight or a -differential algebra ([29, 23, 19]) is a -algebra together with a differential operator (of weight ) satisfying
[TABLE]
The differential algebras were first studied by J.F. Ritt [29] and have developed to be an important branch of mathematics in both theory and applications (see for instance [15, 19, 33]).
A Rota-Baxter algebra of weight or -Rota-Baxter algebra ([4, 22, 30]) is a -algebra together with a Rota-Baxter operator (of weight ) satisfying
[TABLE]
The Rota-Baxter operator on an associative algebra initially appeared in probability [4] and then in combinatorics [30] and quantum field theory [14]. There are a number of studies on associative Rota-Baxter algebras on both commutative and noncommutative case. For more details we refer the reader to [22] and the references given there. The Rota-Baxter operator of weight 0 on a Lie algebra is also called the operator form of the classical Yang-Baxter equation [31]. The Lie Rota-Baxter algebras are closely related with the pre-Lie algebras. Recently, there are many results on Lie Rota-Baxter algebras and related topics (see for instance [2, 3, 21, 26, 28]).
Similarly to the relation between differential operator and integral operator as in the First Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, L. Guo and W. Keigher [23] introduced the notion of differential Rota-Baxter algebra which is a -algebra together with a differential operator and a Rota-Baxter operator such that .
As we known, the free objects of various varieties of linear algebras play an important role. Sometimes, it is difficult to give a linear basis of a free algebra, for example, it is an open problem to find a linear basis of a free Jordan algebra. A linear basis of the free differential associative (resp. commutative and associative) Rota-Baxter algebra on a set was given by L. Guo and W. Keigher [23]. In this paper, we apply the Gröbner-Shirshov bases method to construct a free differential Lie Rota-Baxter algebra. Especially, we give a linear basis of a free differential Lie Rota-Baxter algebra on a set.
Gröbner bases and Gröbner-Shirshov bases have been proved to be very useful in different branches of mathematics, which were invented independently by A.I. Shirshov [32], H. Hironaka [24] and B. Buchberger [13] on different types of algebras. For more details on the Gröbner-Shirshov bases and their applications, see for instance the surveys [8, 10], the books [1, 11, 16, 18] and the papers [9, 27, 28, 17, 20].
The -algebra was introduced by A.G. Kurosh [25]. A differential Lie -algebra over a field is a differential Lie algebra with a set of multilinear operators on . It is easy to see that a differential Lie Rota-Baxter algebra is a differential Lie -algebra with a single operator satisfying the Rota-Baxter relation.
The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we review the Gröbner-Shirshov bases theory for differential associative -algebras. In Section 3, we firstly construct a free differential Lie -algebra by the differential nonassociative Lyndon-Shirshov -words, which is a generalization of the classical nonassociative Lyndon-Shirshov words. Secondly, we establish the Gröbner-Shirshov bases theory for differential Lie -algebras. In Section 4, we obtain a Gröbner-Shirshov basis of a free -differential Lie Rota-Baxter algebra and then a linear basis of such an algebra is obtained by the Composition-Diamond lemma for differential Lie -algebras.
