[For the entire collection see Zbl 0745.00066.] A simple algebra can be described as an algebra \(A({\mathcal V})\) constructed from a ``triple \({\mathcal V}\), \({\mathcal V}\equiv(V,\delta,\Gamma)\) where \(V\) is a finite-dimensional vector space, \(\delta\) is an alternating bilinear form on \(V\) and \(\Gamma\) is a finitely generated subgroup of the additive group of the dual space \(V^*=\text{Hom}_ k(V,k)\). In this paper, it is shown that the decompositions described in the title exhibit a similar pathology to direct sum decompositions of modules. The results have applications to enveloping algebras of solvable Lie algebras. In particular, the Krull-Schmidt theorem [If \({\mathcal V}_ 1\oplus\cdots\oplus{\mathcal V}_ n\simeq{\mathcal W}_ 1\oplus\cdots\oplus{\mathcal W}_ m\) where the \({\mathcal V}_ i\) and \({\mathcal W}_ j\) are indecomposable then \(m=n\) and \({\mathcal V}_ j\simeq{\mathcal W}_ j\) for \(1\leq j\leq n.]\), cancellation, and uniqueness of \(n\)th roots all fail for tensor product decompositions of the algebras \(A(V,\delta,\Gamma)\) arising as localizations of primitive factors of these enveloping algebras. The paper contains the sections introduction, some simple examples, a category embedding theorem, some cancellation results, the number of distinct decompositions.
