The paper deals with semisimple complex Lie algebras \(\mathfrak g\) and symmetric algebras \(S(\mathfrak g)\) over \(\mathfrak g\). Identify \(\mathfrak g\) with its dual space \(\mathfrak g^{*}\) so that the exterior algebra \(\bigwedge\mathfrak g\) has the structure of a cochain complex with respect to the usual, degree 1, Lie algebra coboundary operator \(d\). Since the elements of \(\bigwedge^{2}\mathfrak g\) commute with each other, there exists a unique homomorphism \(s:S(\mathfrak g)\rightarrow \bigwedge\mathfrak g\) such that \(s(x)=dx\) for \(x\in\mathfrak g\). The homomorphism defines the structure of an \(S(\mathfrak g)\) module on \(\bigwedge\mathfrak g\) and this \(S(\mathfrak g)\)-module structure is equivariant with respect to the adjoint action. The author explores the property of a submodule \(C\subset\bigwedge\mathfrak g\) such that \(C\) is the span of all \(\bigwedge^{k}\mathfrak a\) for any commutative Lie subalgebras \(\mathfrak a\) of \(\mathfrak g\) and \(k=\dim\mathfrak a\). The module \(C\) first appeared in a paper of the author in 1965. \(C\) plays an important role in the full structure of \(\bigwedge\mathfrak g\) and has interesting connection with a number of applications of Lie algebras.
