TL;DR
The paper addresses the PBW-like normal ordering problem for enveloping algebras of a direct sum $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{g}_1\oplus\mathfrak{g}_2$ by developing a universal-construction framework and a normal-form calculator that transports a potential inverse of the natural map $\mu_{state}$ to a $\mathfrak{g}$-action on $\mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{g}_1)\otimes\mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{g}_2)$ via an explicit action $g\ast_U$ and the map $\mu_{state}^U$. The main result shows that $\mu_{state}^U$ is bijective, providing a constructive PBW-type decomposition of $\mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{g})$ in terms of $\mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{g}_1)$ and $\mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{g}_2)$. The approach relies on universal properties, free-object constructions, and transport-of-structure arguments, with potential extensions to quantized enveloping algebras and Lie superalgebras.
Abstract
