Let ( 𝕃 ( V ) , d ) be a free graded connected differential Lie algebra over the field of rational numbers. An ideal I in the Lie algebra H ( 𝕃 ( V ) , d ) is called nice if, for every cycle α 𝕃 ( V ) such that [ α ] belongs to I , the kernel of the map H ( 𝕃 ( V ) , d ) H ( 𝕃 ( V x ) , d ) , d ( x ) = α , is contained in I . We show that the center of H ( 𝕃 ( V ) , d ) is a nice ideal and we give in that case some informations on the structure of the Lie algebra H ( 𝕃 ( V x ) , d ) . We apply this computation for the determination of the rational homotopy Lie algebra L X = π * ( Ω X ) of a simply connected space X . We deduce that the kernel of the map L X L Y induced by the attachment of a cell along an element in the center is contained in the center.

An ideal $I$ in the Lie algebra $H({\Bbb L}(V),d)$ is called nice if, for every cycle $\alpha \in {\Bbb L}(V)$ such that $[\alpha ]$ belongs to $I$, the kernel of the map $H({\Bbb L}(V),d) \rightarrow H({\Bbb L}(V\oplus {\Bbb Q}x),d)$, $d(x) = \alpha $, is contained in $I$. We show that the center of $H({\Bbb L}(V),d)$ is a nice ideal and we give in that case some informations on the structure of the Lie algebra $H({\Bbb L}(V\oplus {\Bbb Q}x),d)$. We apply this computation for the determination of the rational homotopy Lie algebra $L_X = \pi _*(\Omega X) \otimes {\Bbb Q}$ of a simply connected space $X$. We deduce that the kernel of the map $L_X \rightarrow L_Y$ induced by the attachment of a cell along an element in the center is contained in the center.
