contents The Goldman Lie algebra of an oriented surface was defined by Goldman. By the natural involution that opposes the orientation of curves, the Goldman Lie algebra becomes a $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$-graded Lie algebra. Its even part is isomorphic to the Thurston-Wolpert-Goldman Lie algebra or, briefly, the TWG Lie algebra. Chas and Kabiraj proved the center of the TWG Lie algebra is generated by the class of the unoriented trivial loop and the classes of unoriented loops parallel to boundary components or punctures. The center of the even part can be rephrased as the set of elements of the even part annihilated by all the elements of the even part. We also prove some similar statements for the remaining 3 cases involving the odd part. Moreover, we compute the elements of the symmetric algebra and the universal enveloping algebra of the Goldman Lie algebra annihilated by all the even elements of the Goldman Lie algebra, and those annilated by all the odd elements.
