Derived operations satisfy standard identities

Vladimir Dotsenko

Abstract

A derived operation is a bilinear operation on a commutative associative algebra $A$ defined intrinsically out of its product and several derivations of the product. We show that operators of left (or right) multiplications of a derived operation always satisfy a "standard identity" of certain order. In particular, it implies that each Rankin-Cohen bracket of modular forms, as well as each higher bracket of Kontsevich's universal deformation quantization formula for Poisson structures on $\mathbb{R}^n$, satisfies standard identities.

Key Result

Theorem 2

Every derived operation $\{-,-\}$ defined using $n>1$ derivations $D_1$, …, $D_n$ satisfies a standard identity: there exists $d>0$ such that we have for all $a_1,\ldots,a_d\in A$. In fact, we can take $d=1+\frac{n^{p+1}-1}{n-1}$ for any $p\ge m+1$, where $m$ is the $D$-order of $\{-,-\}$.
