Projections of Semisimple Lie Algebras

  • Published:
Algebra and Logic Aims and scope

It is proved that the property of being a semisimple algebra is preserved under projections (lattice isomorphisms) for locally finite-dimensional Lie algebras over a perfect field of characteristic not equal to 2 and 3, except for the projection of a three-dimensional simple nonsplit algebra. Over fields with the same restrictions, we give a lattice characterization of a three-dimensional simple split Lie algebra and a direct product of a one-dimensional algebra and a three-dimensional simple nonsplit one.
