Some proofs of the Poincar\'e-Birkhoff-Witt theorem and related matters

Abstract

This expository paper focuses on free Lie K-algebras and the basic PBW theorem. We argue in various ways that the basic PBW theorem is a quite close consequence of the Magnus-Witt theorems concerning free Lie algebras.
