Pre-Lie rings and algebras #
In this file we introduce left and right pre-Lie rings, defined as a NonUnitalNonAssocRing where
the associator associator x y z := (x * y) * z - x * (y * z) is left or right symmetric,
respectively.
We prove that every Left(Right)PreLieRing L is a Right(Left)PreLieRing L with
the opposite mul. The equivalence is simple given by op : L ≃* Lᵐᵒᵖ.
Everything holds for the algebra versions where L is also an R-Module over a commutative ring
R.
Main definitions #
All are a defined as a NonUnitalNonAssocRing whose associator satisfies an identity.
Main results #
- Every
LeftPreLieRingis aRightPreLieRingwith the opposite multiplication.
Implementation notes #
There are left and right versions of the structures, equivalent via ᵐᵒᵖ.
Perhaps one could be favored but there is no real reason to.

LeftPreLieRings are NonUnitalNonAssocRings such that the associator is symmetric in the
first two variables.
