As an application we get a direct and natural proof of a strong form of the Poincare'-Birkhoff-Witt theorem, extending this theorem to a class of nilpotent Lie superalgebras. Other applications are presented. Our results are new already for Lie algebras.23 pages, LaTeXRepresentation Theory16S30, 16G30, 17B35 (Primary), 17B65 (Secondary)Universal representations of Lie algebras by coderivationstext
