Abstract: Thin Lie algebras are infinite-dimensional graded Lie algebras $$, with $dim(L_1)=2$ and satisfying a covering property: for each $i$, each nonzero $zin{L}_i$ satisfies $[z{L}_1]=L_{i+1}$. It follows that each homogeneous components $L_i$ is either one- or two-dimensional, and in the latter case is called a diamond. Hence $L_1$ is a diamond, and if there are no other diamonds then $L$ is a graded Lie algebra of maximal class. We present simpler proofs of some fundamental facts on graded Lie algebras of maximal class, and on thin Lie algebras, based on a uniform method, with emphasis on a polynomial interpretation. Among else, we determine the possible values for the most fundamental parameter of such algebras, which is the dimension of their largest metabelian quotient.
