Abstract: We consider contractions of Lie and Poisson algebras and the behaviour of their centres under contractions. A polynomial Poisson algebra A=K[W] is said to be of Kostant type, if its centre Z(A) is freely generated by homogeneous polynomials F_1,...,F_r such that they give Kostant's regularity criterion on W (d_xF_i are linear independent if and only if the Poisson tensor has the maximal rank at x). If the initial Poisson algebra is of Kostant type and F_i satisfy a certain degree-equality, then the contraction is also of Kostant type. The general result is illustrated by two examples. Both are contractions of a simple Lie algebra g corresponding to a decomposition g=h oplus V, where h is a subalgebra. Here A=S(g)=K[g^*], Z(A)=S(g)^g, and the contracted Lie algebra is a semidirect product of h and an Abelian ideal isomorphic to g/h as an h-module. In the first example, h is a symmetric subalgebra and in the second, it is a Borel subalgebra and V is the nilpotent radical of an opposite Borel.

Summary: We consider contractions of Lie and Poisson algebras and the behaviour of their centres under contractions. A polynomial Poisson algebra \({\mathcal A}=\mathbb K[\mathbb A^n]\) is said to be of Kostant type, if its centre \(Z({\mathcal A})\) is freely generated by homogeneous polynomials \(F_1,\ldots,F_r\) such that they give Kostant's regularity criterion on \(\mathbb A^n (d_xF_i\) are linear independent if and only if the Poisson tensor has the maximal rank at \(x\)). If the initial Poisson algebra is of Kostant type and \(F_i\) satisfy a certain degree-equality, then the contraction is also of Kostant type. The general result is illustrated by two examples. Both are contractions of a simple Lie algebra \(\mathfrak g\) corresponding to a decomposition \(\mathfrak g=\mathfrak h \oplus V\), where \(\mathfrak h\) is a subalgebra. Here \({\mathcal A}={\mathcal S}(\mathfrak g)=\mathbb K[\mathfrak g^{\ast}], Z({\mathcal A})={\mathcal S}(\mathfrak g)^{\mathfrak g}\), and the contracted Lie algebra is a semidirect product of \(\mathfrak h\) and an Abelian ideal isomorphic to \(\mathfrak g/\mathfrak h\) as an \(\mathfrak h\)-module. In the first example, \(\mathfrak h\) is a symmetric subalgebra and in the second, it is a Borel subalgebra and \(V\) is the nilpotent radical of an opposite Borel.
