This paper is devoted to Lie algebras, defined over an algebraically closed field \(K\) of characteristic zero, represented as the semidirect sum \(\mathfrak g = \mathfrak g_0 \oplus \mathfrak g_1\), where \(\mathfrak g_0\) is a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra and \(\mathfrak g_1\) is a \(\mathfrak g_0\)-module. These algebras could be considered as contractions of a reductive Lie algebra with a symmetric decomposition \(\mathfrak g_0 \oplus \mathfrak g_1\), and share many properties with the latters. The author conjectures that the algebra of invariants of the coadjoint representation of such semidirect products is polynomial, and proves this in some particular cases. Another particular case, considered earlier by several authors, is \(\mathfrak g_0 \simeq \mathfrak g_1\), in which case \(\mathfrak g \simeq \mathfrak g_0 \otimes K[t]/(t^2)\).
