The universal enveloping algebra of the Schrödinger algebra and its prime spectrum

The prime, completely prime, maximal, and primitive spectra are classified for the universal enveloping algebra of the Schrodinger algebra. The explicit generators are given for all of these ideals. A counterexample is constructed to the conjecture of Cheng and Zhang about nonexistence of simple singular Whittaker modules for the Schrodinger algebra (and all such modules are classified). It is proved that the conjecture holds ‘generically’.
