On the derived algebra of a centraliser

Publication date 27 September 2010

Abstract: Let

g

be a classical Lie algebra,

e

a nilpotent of

g

element and

g t g_{e}

the centraliser of

e

in

g

. We prove that

g_{e} = [g_{e}, g_{e}]

if and only if

e

is rigid. It is also shown that if

e

is contained in

[g_{e}, g_{e}]

, then the nilpotent radical of

g_{e}

coincides with

[g (1)_{e}, g_{e}]

, where

g (1)_{e}

is an eigenspace of a characteristic of

e

with the eigenvalue 1.
