Abstract: Let G be a connected semisimple algebraic group over $k$, with Lie algebra $g$. Let $h$ be a subalgebra of $g$. A simple finite-dimensional $g$-module V is said to be $h$-indecomposable if it cannot be written as a direct sum of two proper $h$-submodules. We say that $h$ is wide, if all simple finite-dimensional $g$-modules are $h$-indecomposable. Some very special examples of indecomposable modules and wide subalgebras appear recently in the literature. In this paper, we describe several large classes of wide subalgebras of $g$ and initiate their systematic study. Our approach is based on the study of idempotents in the associative algebra of $h$-invariant endomorphisms of V. We also discuss a relationship between wide subalgebras and epimorphic subgroups.
