Abstract: Let $mathfrakg$ be an algebra over $K$ with a bilinear operation $[cdot,cdot]:mathfrakgimesmathfrakgightarrowmathfrakg$ not necessarily associative. For $Asubseteqmathfrakg$, let $A^k$ be the set of elements of $mathfrakg$ written combining $k$ elements of $A$ via $+$ and $[cdot,cdot]$. We show a "sum-bracket theorem" for simple Lie algebras over $K$ of the form $mathfrakg=mathfrak{sl}_n,mathfrak{so}_n,mathfrak{sp}_{2n},mathfrak{e}_6,mathfrak{e}_7,mathfrak{e}_8,mathfrak{f}_4,mathfrak{g}_2$: if $mathrmchar(K)$ is not too small, we have growth of the form $|A^k|geq|A{|}^{1+varepsilon}$ for all generating symmetric sets $A$ away from subfields of $K$. Over $mathbb{F}_p$ in particular, we have a diameter bound matching the best analogous bounds for groups of Lie type [BDH21]. As an independent intermediate result, we prove also an estimate of the form $|AcapV|leq|A^k{|}^{dim(V)/dim(mathfrakg)}$ for linear affine subspaces $V$ of $mathfrakg$. This estimate is valid for all simple algebras, and $k$ is especially small for a large class of them including associative, Lie, and Mal'cev algebras, and Lie superalgebras.
