Automorphisms of simple quotients of the Poisson and universal enveloping algebras of $\mathrm{sl}_2$

Abstract

Let $P(\mathrm{sl}_2(K))$ be the Poisson enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra $\mathrm{sl}_2(K)$ over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic zero. The quotient algebras $ $ $P(\mathrm{sl}_2(K))/(C_P-\lambda)$, where $C_P$ is the standard Casimir element of $\mathrm{sl}_2(K)$ in $P(\mathrm{sl}_2(K))$ and $0\neq \lambda\in K$, are proven to be simple in \cite{UZh}. Using a result by L. Makar-Limanov \cite{ML90}, we describe generators of the automorphism group of $P(\mathrm{sl}_2(K))/(C_P-\lambda)$ and represent this group as an amalgamated product of its subgroups. Moreover, using similar results by J. Dixmier \cite{Dixmier73} and O. Fleury \cite{Fleury} for the quotient algebras $U(\mathrm{sl}_2(K))/(C_U-\lambda)$, where $C_U$ is the standard Casimir element of $\mathrm{sl}_2(K)$ in the universal enveloping algebra $U(\mathrm{sl}_2(K))$, we prove that the automorphism groups of $P(\mathrm{sl}_2(K))/(C_P-\lambda)$ and $U(\mathrm{sl}_2(K))/(C_U-\lambda)$ are isomorphic.
