Split Lie-Rinehart algebras

Abstract: We introduce the class of split Lie-Rinehart algebras as the natural extension of the one of split Lie algebras. We show that if

L

is a tight split Lie-Rinehart algebra over an associative and commutative algebra

A,

then

L

and

A

decompose as the orthogonal direct sums

,

, where any

L_{i}

is a nonzero ideal of

L

, any

A_{j}

is a nonzero ideal of

A

, and both decompositions satisfy that for any

i i n I

there exists a unique

i l d e i i n J

such that

A_{i l d e i} L_{i} e q 0

. Furthermore any

L_{i}

is a split Lie-Rinehart algebra over

A_{i l d e i}

. Also, under mild conditions, it is shown that the above decompositions of

L

and

A

are by means of the family of their, respective, simple ideals.
