DefinitionHoffman monomial of an index#✓fully proved

For an index \(\mathbf{k} = (k_1, \dots, k_r)\) of positive integers, this is the monomial \(z_{k_1} z_{k_2} \cdots z_{k_r}\) with coefficient \(1\) in the free associative algebra \(\mathbb{Q}\langle x, y \rangle\) over \(\mathbb{Q}\) on two noncommuting letters \(x\) and \(y\), where \(z_k = x^{k-1} y\).

TheoremHoffman basis of \(\mathfrak{H}^1\)#✓fully proved

TheoremHoffman monomial basis of \(\mathfrak{H}^0\)#✓fully proved

Let \(\mathbb{Q}\langle x, y\rangle\) be the free associative \(\mathbb{Q}\)-algebra on two letters \(x\) and \(y\), and let \(\mathfrak{H}^0\) be its subalgebra consisting of the \(\mathbb{Q}\)-linear combinations of the empty word and of words that begin with \(x\) and end with \(y\). For \(k \ge 1\) put \(z_k = x^{k-1} y\), and for an index \(\mathbf{k} = (k_1, \dots, k_r)\) of positive integers (possibly empty) put \(z_{\mathbf{k}} = z_{k_1} \cdots z_{k_r}\), with \(z_{\mathbf{k}} = 1\) for the empty index. Call \(\mathbf{k}\) admissible if \(r \ge 1\) and \(k_1 \ge 2\). Then there is a \(\mathbb{Q}\)-basis of \(\mathfrak{H}^0\), indexed by the indices that are empty or admissible, whose element at each such index \(\mathbf{k}\) is \(z_{\mathbf{k}}\).
