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.
