Jan 3, 2015 at 12:35 comment added YCor Beware (in contrast to the group setting) that the existence of a proper finite-codimensional subalgebra does not imply that of such an ideal. For instance Amayo (Quasi-ideals of Lie algebras II, Proc. London Math. Soc. (3) 33, 1976, 37-64) constructed an infinite-dimensional simple Lie algebra with a subalgebra of codimension 1.

Jan 2, 2015 at 22:19 comment added Ian Agol Right, I think this was just a typo on my part.
Jan 2, 2015 at 22:09 comment added Jim Humphreys Thanks for the clarification. Usually "finite index" has meaning only in a group-theoretic context.

Jan 2, 2015 at 18:48 comment added Ian Agol Yes, finite codimension as a vector space. Is there another possible interpretation?
Jan 2, 2015 at 18:46 comment added Jim Humphreys Can you clarify what you mean by "finite index"? Do you mean "finite codimension"?
