Structure of Algebras of Weyl Type

Abstract

In a paper by the authors, the associative and the Lie algebras of Weyl type $A[D]=A\otimes F[D]$ were introduced, where $A$ is a commutative associative algebra with an identity element over a field $F$ of any characteristic, and $F[D]$ is the polynomial algebra of a commutative derivation subalgebra $D$ of $A$. In the present paper, a class of the above associative and Lie algebras $A[D]$ with $F$ being a field of characteristic 0 and $D$ consisting of locally finite derivations of $A$, is studied. The isomorphism classes of these associative and Lie algebras are determined. The structure of these algebras is described explicitly.
