Abstract: We consider the Lie algebra of derivations of a zero dimensional local complex algebra. We describe an inequality involving the embedding dimension, the order, and the first deviation that forces this Lie algebra to be solvable. Our result was motivated by and generalizes the solvability of the Yau algebra of an isolated hypersurface singularity.


\textit{J. N. Mather} and \textit{S. S.-T. Yau} proved [Invent. Math. 69, 243--251 (1982; Zbl 0499.32008)] that the Lie algebra of derivations \(L(X)\) of the Tyurina algebra \(A(X)\) associated to an isolated hypersurface singularity \(X \subset (\mathbb{C}^n, 0)\) is solvable. The paper under review is devoted to extend this result to the case of a Lie algebra of derivations of a zero-dimensional local complex algebra, by asserting that if \(S\) is a zero-dimensional local \(\mathbb{C}\)-algebra of embedding dimension \(\text{embdim}(S)\) and order \(\text{ord}(S)\), and it is denoted by \(\varepsilon_1(S)\) its first derivation. Then the Lie algebra \(\text{Der}_{\mathbb{C}}S\) is solvable if \(\varepsilon_1(S)+1 < \text{embdim}(S) + \text{ord}(S)\).
