Let L be a Lie algebra with its enveloping algebra U(L) over a field. In this paper we survey results concerning the isomorphism problem for enveloping algebras: given another Lie algebra H for which U(L) and U(H) are isomorphic as associative algebras, can we deduce that L and H are isomorphic Lie algebras? Over a field of positive characteristic we consider a similar problem for restricted Lie algebras, that is, given restricted Lie algebras L and H for which their restricted enveloping algebras are isomorphic as algebras, can we deduce that L and H are isomorphic?
