1. Introduction
A series of non-associative structures related with the formal calculus of variations appeared in [9]. These structures are nowadays known as Novikov algebras (they were independently introduced in [2] as a tool for classification of linear Poisson brackets of hydrodynamic type), Novikov–Poisson algebras, and Gelfand–Dorfman bialgebras. The latter class of systems was initially invented in [9] as a source of Hamiltonian operators: the structure constants of a Gelfand–Dorfman bialgebra may be used as coefficients of a differential operator.
By definition, a linear space equipped with one bilinear operation is said to be a Novikov algebra (the term was proposed in [17]) if it satisfies the following identities:
[TABLE]
A Gelfand—Dorfmann bialgebra [21] is a system with two bilinear operations such that is a Novikov algebra, is a Lie algebra, and the following additional identity holds:
[TABLE]
In order to avoid a collision with the well-known notion of a bialgebra as an algebra equipped with a coproduct, we will use the term GD-algebra for a Gelfand—Dorfman bialgebra.
It turned out [21] (see also [11]) that GD-algebras are closely related with conformal Lie algebras appeared in the theory of vertex operators [13]. Conformal algebras and their generalizations (pseudo-algebras) also turn to be useful for the classification of Poisson brackets of hydrodynamic type [1]. It worth mentioning that Poisson algebras are also closely related with representations of Lie conformal algebras [14].
The following statement provides a series of examples of GD-algebras. Recall that a Poisson algebra is a linear space equipped with two bilinear operations, i.e., a system , where is an associative and commutative algebra, is a Lie algebra, and the following Leibniz identity holds:
[TABLE]
Theorem 1**.**
Let be a Poisson algebra with a derivation relative to the both products. Define a new operation on in the following way:
[TABLE]
Then is a GD-algebra.
The proof is straightforward. It is well-known [2, 9] that satisfies (1) and (2). It remains to show that (3) holds. Indeed, evaluate the left-hand side of (3) in a differential Poisson algebra: .∎
Let us call a GD-algebra special if it can be embedded into a differential Poisson algebra with operations and given by (4). The class of all homomorphic images of all special GD-algebras is a variety (i.e., a class of algebras which is closed with respect to homomorphic images, subalgebras, and Cartesian products). Let us denote this variety by . The main purpose of this paper is to describe a way for finding the defining identities of .
In order to solve that problem, we need to study differential algebras and answer the following question which is of independent interest. Suppose is a (non-associative) algebra with a derivation . Introduce the following new binary operations on :
[TABLE]
Assuming satisfies a family of polynomial identities, what can be said about identities on ?
For example, if is associative and commutative then and the operation satisfies (1) and (2). It was shown in [7] that there are no more independent identities that hold on for all associative commutative algebras and for all their derivations . Moreover, it was proved in [4] that every Novikov algebra may be embedded into a differential associative commutative algebra.
We find an explicit answer to the question about identities of . It turns out that, given a variety defined by multilinear identities (multilinear variety, for short), the systems , , , generate a variety governed by the operad , where is the operad of Novikov algebras and stands for the Manin white product of operads [10, 16]. Hereinafter we identify notations for multilinear varieties and the corresponding operads.
If is a variety of algebras then the free algebra in generated by a set is denoted . By we denote the class of all differential -algebras with one derivation (this is a variety of algebraic systems with one additional unary operation in the language). The free algebra in generated by a set is denoted . We will often need to know the structure of the free differential -algebra. It can be easily derived in general (c.f. [8] for associative algebra case) that the following statement holds.
Lemma 1**.**
For a multilinear variety , the free differential -algebra generated by a set with one derivation coincides with , where .
Indeed, consider the free nonassociative (magmatic) algebra and define a linear map in such a way that , . Denote by the T-ideal of all identities in a set of variables that hold on .
Since is defined by multilinear identities, the T-ideal of is -invariant:
[TABLE]
Hence, is a -algebra with a derivation . Since all relations from hold in every differential -algebra, is isomorphic to the free differential -algebra. ∎
Remark 1**.**
In Lemma 1, a derivation may be replaced with a generalized derivation, i.e., a linear map such that
[TABLE]
where is a fixed scalar in . Indeed, it is enough to note that is an ordinary derivation.
In order to study the relations between GD-algebras and differential Poisson algebras we need more general settings. Namely, given an algebra with a derivation , consider the system , where , are defined by (5), and is the initial multiplication on . How to describe the identities that hold on provided that we know the identities of ? It turns out that the answer involves the operad of GD-algebras. Namely, for a multilinear variety , the systems , , , generate a variety governed by , where is the Koszul-dual of the operad .
The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we calculate the operad and describe the free -algebra. In fact, the variety of -algebras is a proper sub-variety of the class of Novikov–Poisson algebras. The defining identities of were earlier obtained in [4], but it was assumed in [4] that a Novikov–Poisson algebra has an identity element. We can not use this assumption for our purpose, so we describe the free -algebra explicitly and prove that it can be embedded into the free differential associative and commutative algebra.
In Section 3, we define (generalized) derived identities of a multilinear variety of algebras with binary operations as those identities that hold on all (resp., ) for all and for all . Denote the operads defined by (generalized) derived identities by (resp., ). Then we prove
[TABLE]
In Section 4, we describe the linear basis of the free special GD-algebra in terms of the enveloping differential Poisson algebra. This result generalizes what was done in [7]: here we have to add one more operation into consideration.
Section 5 is devoted to the description of defining relations of the operad SGD governing the variety generated by all special GD-algebras. It is easy to see that the operad SGD is a sub-operad of generated by a proper subspace of binary operations. We find the entire family of defining relations for , so all defining identities of SGD occur among their corollaries. In particular, we are interested in special identities of GD-algebras, i.e., those identities that hold on all SGD-algebras but do not hold on the class of all GD-algebras. There are no special identities of degree 3, but we can find two independent special identities of degree 4. The complete list of special identities of GD-algebras remains unknown.
2. Dual Gelfand—Dorfmann algebras
Suppose is a multilinear variety of algebras. Fix a countable set of variables and denote
[TABLE]
where is the space of all (non-associative) multilinear polynomials of degree in , is the T-ideal of all identities that hold in .
The collection of spaces forms a symmetric operad relative to the natural composition rule and symmetric group action (see, e.g., [16]). We will denote this operad by the same symbol . The operad is a binary one, i.e., it is generated (as a symmetric operad) by the elements of . In the generic case of algebras with one binary operation of multiplication, is spanned by and .
The variety of GD-algebras is defined by identities of degree 2 or 3. Therefore, the corresponding operad is a quadratic one [10]. Let us compute the Koszul dual operad .
Denote two operations of a GD-algebra by and , namely, , . Then , where .
As in [10], the -space of multilinear terms of degree 3 is identified with
[TABLE]
where the action of on is given by .
We may choose a basis of as follows:
[TABLE]
and , for .
Relative to the basis , the vectors representing the defining relations of may be presented by the rows of the following matrix:
[TABLE]
Compute the sign-twisted orthogonal complement [10] for the -module spanned by these vectors to obtain the defining relations of the Koszul dual operad . It turns out that a -algebra has two operations and , where
[TABLE]
i.e., is associative and commutative,
[TABLE]
i.e., is a right Novikov product, and
[TABLE]
Remark 2**.**
Relations (6)–(10) up to a change of notations
[TABLE]
coincide with the identities defining a differential GDN-Poisson algebra [4]. This is a proper sub-variety of the variety of Novikov—Poisson algebras introduced in [20]. However, all algebras in [4] are assumed to be unital, i.e., with an identity relative to the associative and commutative operation . This is an essential restriction since it is unclear in general how to join a unit to a -algebra. This is why in this section we have to study the free -algebra without an identity assumption.
Let us find a normal form of elements in the free -algebra, i.e., a linear basis of .
Denote by the variety of algebras with two associative and commutative operations and such that
[TABLE]
It is easy to see that the following identities hold in :
[TABLE]
Indeed, apply commutativity of and (11) to obtain
[TABLE]
Similarly,
[TABLE]
Theorem 2**.**
A linear basis of the free -algebra generated by a linearly ordered set consists of the words
[TABLE]
.
Proof.
It can be easily seen that every element of a algebra generated by a set can be transformed to a linear combination of words that have the following form:
[TABLE]
Commutativity of and allows us to assume and . If then we may interchange them by means of the second relation in (12). Hence, every element of can be transformed to a linear combination of monomials (14).
To prove linear independence of (14), consider a linear space spanned by (14) and define multiplications and on in the following way. If , then
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
where the sequence is just the ordering of the sequence . It is easy to check that is a algebra. Hence, . ∎
Let stand for the free differential -algebra generated by a set with a derivation (i.e., is a derivation relative to the both operations and ).
Theorem 3**.**
Let be a -algebra with a derivation . Then is a -algebra relative to the operations and defined by
[TABLE]
Proof.
The operation is known to be right Novikov. It remains to check the identities (9), (10):
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
by (12). ∎
Let us say that a -algebra is special if it can be embedded into an appropriate differential -algebra. Denote by the variety generated by special -algebras (all homomorphic images of special -algebras). Obviously, the free -algebra generated by a set is isomorphic to the subalgebra of generated by relative to the operations and .
For every monomial define the weight of by the following induction rule:
[TABLE]
The space of differential -monomials of weight has the following basis:
[TABLE]
Theorem 4**.**
An element belongs to if and only if all monomials that appear in have weight .
Proof.
The “only if” part can be easily proved by induction. For the converse (“if”) part, it is enough to consider the case when is a monomial of the form (16). Note that if then , where , . As shown in [7], can be expressed via . Then . ∎
Theorem 5**.**
For a linearly ordered set , is isomorphic to .
Proof.
First, let us prove the following technical statement.
Lemma 2**.**
The following elements span the free -algebra generated by a linearly ordered set :
[TABLE]
where is a monomial from relative to the operation .
Here denotes the variety of right Novikov algebras defined by the identities (7) and (8).
Proof.
Let be a monomial in . Proceed by induction on . If then the statement is clear. Suppose . Then or , . By the inductive assumption,
[TABLE]
where .
Case 1: . Then . If or then we are done. If , , then the inductive assumption implies
[TABLE]
where , . Hence, .
Case 2: . Then . If then the statement follows from (9) and commutativity of :
[TABLE]
For , we have to consider the following sub-cases: and . The first one is similar to what is done for , in the second we have , so by (10)
[TABLE]
The latter expression is of the type considered in Case 1. ∎
Suppose is linearly ordered. Consider the epimorphism
[TABLE]
given by for , , .
Recall that elements from may be presented as differential polynomials from the free differential commutative algebra (relative to binary operation and derivation ) by means of . Such a presentation is known to be unique [7]. Therefore, by Lemma 2 is spanned by elements
[TABLE]
where , , and
[TABLE]
Note that if is of the form (17) then . Moreover, .
Relation (12) implies that we may add one more condition on the words (17): .
Therefore, we have found a set of linear generators in whose images in are linearly independent. Hence, . In particular, the set of monomials (16) is a linear basis of . ∎
Consider the class of all algebras with two operations and obtained from differential associative commutative algebras via
[TABLE]
Corollary 1**.**
The class of all homomorphic images of algebras from coincides with the variety of -algebras.
In other words, the defining identities of and their corollaries exhaust all identities that hold for operations (18) on commutative differential algebras.
Proof.
Consider the homomorphism of -algebras
[TABLE]
defined as follows: for , , . We are interested in the kernel of .
By Theorem 5, . Therefore, is the restriction of the following homomorphism of differential -algebras:
[TABLE]
for , .
Suppose is equipped with a linear order and is a monomial in of the form (16). Then
[TABLE]
where , , lexicographically. Therefore, the images of the basic monomials of are linearly independent, so
[TABLE]
∎
In particular, we may find a simple form for a basis of the free algebra .
Let be a monomial in . Define the weight of by induction as follows: , ; ; .
Corollary 2**.**
A linear basis of consists of all monomials in of weight .
Remark 3**.**
For unital -algebras, a more precise result was obtained in [4]: if is a -algebra with an identity relative to the operation then coincides with an associative commutative algebra with a derivation equipped with the operations , .
3. Derived identities
Let and be two operads. Then the family of spaces is an operad relative to the componentwise composition and symmetric group action. This operad, denoted , is known as the Hadamard product of and . If and are binary operads then may be non-binary. The sub-operad of generated by is known as the Manin white product of and , it is denoted [10].
Example 1**.**
The operad is isomorphic to the operad governing the class of all algebras (magmatic operad).
Indeed, both and are quadratic operads, and so is [10]. Let and be the generators of and . It is enough to find the defining identities of that are quadratic with respect to the generators.
Identify with , then . Hence, is an image of the space of all multilinear non-associative polynomials of degree in relative to the operation . Calculating the compositions in the componentwise way, we obtain
[TABLE]
It remains to find the intersection of the -submodule generated by and in with the kernel of the projection . Straightforward calculation shows the intersection is zero. Hence, the operation satisfies no identities.
Example 2**.**
The operad is generated by 4-dimensional space spanned by
[TABLE]
relative to the following identities:
[TABLE]
This result may be checked with a straightforward computation. Namely, one has to find the intersection of the -submodule in generated by
[TABLE]
with the kernel of the projection .
Given a (non-associative) algebra with a derivation , denote by the same linear space considered as a system with two binary linear operations of multiplication and defined by
[TABLE]
In the same settings, denote by the system , where is the initial multiplication on .
Definition 1**.**
Let be a multilinear variety of algebras. A non-associative polynomial in two operations of multiplication and is called a derived identity of if for every and for every derivation the algebra satisfies the identity . A generalized derived identity is a polynomial in three operations , , and that turns into an identity on for every and for every .
Obviously, the set of all (generalized) derived identities is a T-ideal of the algebra of non-associative polynomials in two (three) operations.
For example, is a derived identity of . Moreover, the operation satisfies the axioms of Novikov algebras (1) and (2). It was actually shown in [7] that the entire T-ideal of derived identities of is generated by these identities. Similarly, Corollary 1 implies that the identities of a -algebra (6)–(10) present the complete list of generalized derived identities of relative to the following change of notations:
[TABLE]
Remark 4**.**
For the variety of associative algebras, it was mentioned in [15] that (19) and (20) are derived identities of .
Our aim in this section is to show that (generalized) derived identities of are exactly the same as defining relations of (). We will focus on the proof of the description of generalized derived identities.
Let be the class of all differential -algebras with one locally nilpotent derivation, i.e., for every and for every there exists such that .
Note that and the entire class satisfy the same (differential) identities: we prove that within the following statement.
Lemma 3**.**
Suppose is a multilinear identity that holds on for all . Then is a generalized derived identity of .
Proof.
Consider the free differential -algebra generated by the set with one derivation modulo defining relations , .
Then . As a differential -algebra, is a homomorphic image of the free magmatic algebra . Denote by the kernel of the homomorphism . As an ideal of , is a sum of two ideals: , where is generated by , , . Note that the last relations form a -invariant subset of , so the ideal is -invariant.
If a polynomial belongs to and its degree in is less than then belongs to . If is a multilinear identity in then the image of in has degree in , so . Hence, is a derived identity of . ∎
Theorem 6**.**
If a multilinear identity holds on the variety governed by the operad then is a generalized derived identity of .
Proof.
For every we may construct an algebra in the variety as follows. Consider the linear space spanned by elements , , with multiplication
[TABLE]
This is a -algebra (in characteristic 0, this is just the ordinary polynomial algebra with ). Denote and define operations , , and on by
[TABLE]
The algebra obtained belongs to the variety governed by the operad . There is an injective map
[TABLE]
which preserves operations , , and . Indeed, let us check that preserves . Apply (24) to , :
[TABLE]
Since is injective, is isomorphic to a subalgebra of a -algebra, so all defining relations of hold on . Lemma 3 completes the proof. ∎
It is easy to see that if we forget about the operation on then we obtain a proof of the following
Theorem 7**.**
If a multilinear identity holds on the variety governed by the operad then is a derived identity of . ∎
It remains to prove the converse: why all generalized derived identities of hold on all -algebras.
Theorem 8**.**
Let be a multilinear generalized derived identity of . Then holds on all -algebras.
Proof.
Let , and let be a non-associative multilinear polynomial in three operations of multiplication , , and . By the construction of the Manin white product, if an identity holds on equipped with operations (21)–(23) then it holds on all -algebras.
By Corollary 2, is a subalgebra of for the free differential commutative algebra . Therefore, is a subalgebra of , where for , . Since , the identity holds on , so it holds on . ∎
Similarly, we have
Theorem 9**.**
Let be a multilinear derived identity of . Then holds on all -algebras.
Remark 5**.**
In this section, we have considered algebras with one binary operation, so the operad has only one generator. However, Theorems 6–9 are straightforward to generalize for algebras with multiple binary operations, i.e., for an arbitrary binary operad . In the next sections, we apply these results to Poisson algebras.
4. Free special GD-algebra
Denote by the variety of all Poisson algebras, and let stand for the variety of differential Poisson algebras. Theorem 1 determines a functor from to corresponding to the following morphism of operads:
[TABLE]
Let us say that a -algebra is special if there exists such that is a subalgebra of . Denote by the variety generated by special -algebras, i.e., the class of all homomorphic images of all special -algebras. The main purpose of this section is to describe the free -algebra.
Let be a linearly ordered set of generators. Denote by the free Poisson differential algebra with a derivation . Consider the set . Let us consider the elements as pairs and compare them lexicographically. Then is isomorphic to as a Poisson algebra.
As a commutative algebra, is isomorphic to the symmetric algebra over the space . Recall that a linear basis of the free Lie algebra generated by a linearly ordered set may be chosen as follows. An associative word is said to be a Lyndon–Shirshov word if for every presentation , , we have lexicographically. This definition goes back to [5] and [19] (see also [3]). For every Lyndon–Shirshov word there is a unique (canonical) bracketing such that and the set of all Lyndon–Shirshov words with canonical bracketing forms a linear basis of .
Definition 2**.**
Let be a monomial in . Define the weight function by induction in the following way:
[TABLE]
Since all defining identities of Poisson algebras are homogeneous relative to and , the function is well-defined.
By the general algebra arguments (see, e.g., [12]) is isomorphic to the subalgebra of generated by relative to the operations and .
Consider a linear map
[TABLE]
By Theorem 1, is an epimorphism of -algebras.
For a monomial , denote by the number of Novikov multiplications in or, which is the same, the number of commutative multiplications in . For a monomial , denote the total number of derivations in . It is easy to see that .
Lemma 4**.**
Let , where , is a Lyndon–Shirshov word in , . Then there exists such that .
Proof.
Let us prove the statement by induction on and , where is the length of as of a word in .
If then the desired pre-image may be obtained just by replacing with . We do not distinguish notations for and its pre-image in .
Suppose . If then the result is obvious. Let . Then
[TABLE]
so is a desired pre-image.
If then for some words , , and , , by the definition of a Lyndon–Shirshov word ( is the greatest letter in ). Assume there exists
[TABLE]
for all Lyndon–Shirshov words such that , . Then
[TABLE]
Therefore,
[TABLE]
is a desired pre-image of .
Suppose and , i.e., , . Then there exists a pre-image of
[TABLE]
as shown in [7].
Assume , , and
[TABLE]
exists for all Lyndon–Shirshov words such that either or , . Since
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
we have
[TABLE]
where means that the factor is omitted. By the inductive assumption, there exist
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
where stands for the linear combination of Lyndon–Shirshov words with canonical bracketing representing a Lie polynomial . Obviously, we may choose
[TABLE]
Here we consider the variable in the right-hand side of (27) as a new one, and assume for all . ∎
Theorem 10**.**
Differential Poisson monomials of weight span the special GD-algebra .
Proof.
Obviously, is a linear combination of differential Poisson monomials of weight for every .
Conversely, let be a monomial in such that . We have to show that there exists . It is enough to prove it for basic elements of , i.e., elements of the form
[TABLE]
where are Lyndon–Shirshov words in , denotes the canonical bracketing, .
Let us proceed by induction on . If then , so . Note that . Hence, if then and is a pure Lie element in which belongs to .
Assume that for some all monomials such that , have pre-images in . Suppose then, without loss of generality, we may assume , . Then there must exist differential-free factors, say of weight . Lemma 4 allows us to replace with a new variable , , find a pre-image of , and find the desired pre-image of as a substitute . ∎
In order to calculate , we need to count Poisson differential monomials in of weight . Let us introduce the following function on , :
[TABLE]
In particular, is the th partial sum of the harmonic series.
Corollary 3**.**
For the operad , we have
[TABLE]
Proof.
Consider the set which is linearly ordered as above: . Let us first calculate the number of homogeneous Poisson monomials that split into Lyndon—Shirshov factors , lexicographically. If , . If then starts with the greatest letter . Suppose the length of is , . The number of such Lyndon—Shirshov words is . The remaining letters form a product of Lyndon—Shirshov words . Hence,
[TABLE]
Therefore,
[TABLE]
where the sum ranges over all such that and . It is easy to see that
[TABLE]
for .
In order to get a differential Poisson monomial of weight , we have to apply derivations to the letters of a Poisson monomial . There are letters , and we may differentiate every letter more than once. Hence, the number of all possible combinations is
[TABLE]
∎
In particular, for we have the following values:
[TABLE]
5. Defining identities of special GD-algebras
In this section, we describe the defining relations of the operad and derive examples of special identities, i.e., those identities that distinguish and .
By definition, the operad is the sub-operad of generated by and .
Proposition 1**.**
The variety of -algebras consists of linear spaces equipped with four bilinear operations , , , and such that is a Poisson algebra, is a Novikov algebra, and the following identities hold:
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
Proof.
Apply the computation process similar to that in Examples 1, 2 relative to the following notations for the generators of in :
[TABLE]
Straightforward solution of the corresponding linear algebra problem leads to the required identities. ∎
Corollary 4**.**
The T-ideal coincides with the intersection of with the space of nonassociative polynomials on operations and . In other words, to get the defining relations of the operad it is enough to find all those corollaries of the identities stated in Proposition 1 that contain only the operations and .
According to Corollary 4, defining identities of may be derived from the identities of given by Proposition 1. For example, we may use (35) to eliminate the operation in (36). As a result, we obtain (3).
Finding the complete list of defining relations for the operad seems to be a hard problem. We will deduce some of these relations below.
Consider the monomial . Apply (32) and then (35) to get
[TABLE]
On the other hand, apply (35) to get
[TABLE]
Therefore, the following identity holds on -algebras:
[TABLE]
(It is also easy to check in a straightforward way that the corresponding identity holds on differential Poisson algebras.)
Proposition 2**.**
The identity (40) does not hold on the class of all -algebras.
Proof.
Without loss of generality we may assume the base field is algebraically closed. We will find an example of a -algebra which does not satisfy (40) by means of algebraic geometry arguments using the approach of [18].
Let us fix a structure of a Lie algebra on a -dimensional linear space spanned by . Namely, we fix a multiplication table of this Lie algebra
[TABLE]
Consider the class of all Novikov products on the space satisfying (3) as a Zariski closed set in the -dimensional affine space assuming
[TABLE]
A point belongs to if and only if
[TABLE]
for all . These relations represent the defining identities of GD-algebras.
Denote by the ideal in generated by the left-hand sides of (41)–(43). If we assume that (40) holds for all GD-algebras in the class then the corresponding polynomials
[TABLE]
belong to the radical of .
For dimensions it is possible to compute the radical of in a straightforward way by means of the computer algebra system Singular [6]. These computations show that for every 2-dimensional Lie algebra all polynomials (44) belong to .
However, even for the 3-dimensional Heisenberg algebra spanned by , , is central, there exist polynomials of the form (44) that do not belong to . ∎
Let us find one more (independent) special identity for -algebras. Consider the expression
[TABLE]
Apply (38) first, then (32) and commutativity of :
[TABLE]
Relation (35) and right commutativity of imply
[TABLE]
On the other hand, it follows from (35) that
[TABLE]
Finally, using (40) we obtain
[TABLE]
Proposition 3**.**
The identity (48) does not hold on the class of all -algebras satisfying (40).
Proof.
Let us consider the class of algebras satisfying the following identities:
[TABLE]
Obviously, all these algebras belong to and (40) holds. If we assume that (48) holds on all these algebras then
[TABLE]
has to be a corollary of (49). If , relation (50) may be transformed to
[TABLE]
modulo (49). However, if we write down all those corollaries of (49) that contain two operations and one operation then we see that (51) does not belong to this list. ∎
Remark 6**.**
We do not suppose that (40) and (48) exhaust all special identities of -algebras. Finding the complete list of special identities (or at least determining whether it is finite) is an interesting problem.
Remark 7**.**
If is a Novikov algebra then with
[TABLE]
is a GD-algebra [9]. It is easy to check that (40) and (48) hold for such a GD-algebra. We conjecture that all GD-algebras obtained in this way are special.
