Abstract: Over a field $F$ of any characteristic, for a commutative associative algebra $A$ with an identity element and for the polynomial algebra $F[D]$ of a commutative derivation subalgebra $D$ of $A$, the associative and the Lie algebras of Weyl type on the same vector space $A[D]=AotimesF[D]$ are defined. It is proved that $A[D]$, as a Lie algebra (modular its center) or as an associative algebra, is simple if and only if $A$ is $D$-simple and $A[D]$ acts faithfully on $A$. Thus a lot of simple algebras are obtained.

Review text

Let \(A\) be an associative commutative algebra with unit element over a field \(k\). Fix a space \(D\) of commuting derivations of \(A\). Denote by \(k[D]\) the symmetric algebra of the space \(D\). Set \(A[D]=A\otimes_kk[D]\). Suppose that \(F\) is the set of all \(a\in A\) such that \(\partial(a)=0\) for all \(\partial\in D\). Then \(\overline A[D]=A[D]/F\) is a Lie algebra with respect to the Lie multiplication \([x,y]=xy-yx\). It is shown that the Lie algebra \(\overline A[D]\) is simple if and only if \(A\) is \(D\)-simple, and \(A\) is a faithful \(k[D]\)-module. The algebra \(A[D]\) is simple if and only if \(A\) is \(D\)-simple and \(A\) is a faithful \(F[D]\)-module.
