Question:

Let D(1) denote the set of all first order linear differential operators L = p(x) D + q(x) where p, q are polynomials.
(a) Prove that D(1) is a vector space. Is it finitedimensional or infinite-dimensional?
(b) Prove that the commutator (7.15) of L, M ∈ D(1) is a first order differential operator [L, M] ∈ D(1) by writing out an explicit formula.
(c) Verify the Jacobi identity (7.16) for the first order differential operators L = D, M = x D + 1, and N = x2 D + 2x.
