Automorphisms group of an invariant subalgebra of a reductive Lie algebra (Q2386466)

Let \(L\) be a field of characteristic \(0, K\) be an extension of \(L\) and \(V\) be a subalgebra of a reductive Lie algebra \(W\) over \(L\). Suppose that \(L\) is invariant under the adjoint action of some Cartan subalgebra of \(W\). Let \(U=V \bigotimes_L K\). The author describes the automorphism group of \(U\) as an \(L\)-algebra as the product of two subgroups constructed in the paper. The result is an extension of a result of \textit{D. Segal} [Math. Proc. Camb. Philos. Soc. 106, 67--76 (1989; Zbl 0681.17011)].
