Semisimple decompositions of Lie algebras and prehomogeneous modules (Q2136926)

The authors ``show that a disemisimple Lie algebra is perfect and thus its solvable radical is nilpotent. Thei establish a direct connection between disemisimple Lie algebras and prehomogeneous modules.'' Using Vinberg's classification of prehomogeneous \(s\)-modules for a complex simple Lie algebras \(s\) the authors prove that the solvable radical of a disemisimple Lie algebra with a simple Levi subalgebra is abelian.
