Abstract: We provide an infinite family of counterexamples to the conjecture of Zassenhaus on the solvability of the outer derivation algebra of a simple modular Lie algebra. In fact, we show that the simple modular Lie algebras $H(2;(1,n){)}^{(2)}$ of dimension $3^{n+1}-2$ in characteristic $p=3$ do not have a solvable outer derivation algebra for all $nge1$. For $n=1$ this recovers the known counterexample of $mathfrak{psl}_3(F)$. We show that the outer derivation algebra of $H(2;(1,n){)}^{(2)}$ is isomorphic to $(mathfrak{sl}_2(F)ltimesV(2))oplus{F}^{n-1}$, where $V(2)$ is the natural representation of $mathfrak{sl}_2(F)$. We also study other known simple Lie algebras in characteristic three, but they do not yield a new counterexample.
