Abstract:

Let $L$ be a free Lie algebra of finite rank $n$ and $R$ its arbitrary ideal. A necessary and sufficient condition for $n$ elements of the Lie algebra $L/{R^2}$ to be a generating set is given. In particular, we have a criterion for $n$ elements of a free Lie algebra of rank $n$ to be a generating set which is similar to the corresponding group-theoretic result due to Birman (An inverse function theorem for free groups, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 41 (1973), 634-638).
