    Let \(L\) be one of the Cartan-type simple Lie algebras \(W(F)\), \(S(F,\omega)\), \(H(F,\omega)\), or \(K(F,\omega)\) over an algebraically closed field of characteristic \(p>3\). The nilpotent subalgebra \({\mathfrak C}(L)\) generated by \(\{C\in L\mid(\text{ad }C)^ 2=0\}\) is called a sandwich algebra. The author shows that \({\mathfrak C}(L)={\mathfrak C}(W)\cap L\) except for \(L=K(F,\omega)\) (where \(\omega=dx_ n+\sum^{n'}_{i=1} (x_ i dx_{i+n'}- x_{i+n'} dx_ i)\) with \(n= 2n'+1\)) when \(n+1\equiv 0\pmod p\), in which case \({\mathfrak C}(L)\subset{\mathfrak C}(W)\cap L\). The computations that are made are only for \(H(F,\omega)\) and \(K(F,\omega)\) since the case \(L=S(F,\omega)\) was considered elsewhere [Preprint IPF AN SSSR, No. 262, Gor'kij, 1990]. It follows as a corollary that for \(L\) of these types the algebra \({\mathfrak L}_ 0\) of the standard filtration of \(L\) is the normalizer in \(L\) of \({\mathfrak C}(L)\).
