The set \(L^n\) of Lie algebra structures on \({\mathbb C}^n\) is well-known to be an algebraic variety, the role of coordinates being played by the structure constants of a bracket. Change of basis in \({\mathbb C}^n\) induces an action of \(GL(n,{\mathbb C})\) on \(L^n\) and an \(n\)-dimensional Lie algebra is called rigid whenever its corresponding orbit is open in \(L^n\). For each \(n\) can exist only a finite number of mutually nonisomorphic Lie algebras of dimension \(n\) (because \(L^n\) has only finitely many irreducible components), so it would be interesting to classify the rigid Lie algebras. Inasmuch as several results could be obtained until now in the study of rigid solvable Lie algebras [see e.g. the following works of \textit{M. Goze} and \textit{J. M. Ancochea Bermudez}, Algèbres de Lie rigides. (Rigid Lie algebras). Algebra and operator theory. Proceedings of the colloquium, Tashkent 1997, 65-91 (1998; Zbl 0930.17008), and Classifications des algèbres de Lie rigides résolubles. Preprint, Université de Mulhouse (1996)], one considers in the paper under review the rigid Lie algebras having ``smallest'' nonzero Levi subalgebras. More precisely, one describes rigid Lie algebras of the form \({\mathcal G}=sl(2)\oplus{\mathcal W}\), where the solvable radical \({\mathcal W}\) (viewed as \(sl(2)\)-module under the adjoint representation) decomposes into a direct sum of two irreducible modules. As a matter of fact, one finds here new examples of rigid Lie algebras with nonvanishing cohomology.
