Abstract
A subalgebra H of a finite dimensional Lie algebra L is said to be a SCAP-subalgebra if there is a chief series 0 = L 0 ⊂ L 1 ⊂... ⊂ L t = L of L such that for every i = 1, 2,..., t, we have H + L i = H + L i-1 or H ∩ L i = H ∩ L i-1. This is analogous to the concept of SCAP-subgroup, which has been studied by a number of authors. In this article, we investigate the connection between the structure of a Lie algebra and its SCAP-subalgebras and give some sufficient conditions for a Lie algebra to be solvable or supersolvable.
