Jul 23, 2012 at 15:45 comment added dan232 There is an article you can find in <kirj.ee/public/proceedings_pdf/2010/issue_4/…>. In proposition 4 of this article, there is a formula you might find interesting. It relates the index of a Lie algebra with the rank of a matrix. There are some examples computed.

Mar 14, 2011 at 13:46 comment added José Figueroa-O'Farrill Just adding some words to the definition: the index of Lie algebra is the codimension of the generic coadjoint orbit. For semisimple Lie algebras the index agrees with the rank. So among the semisimple Lie algebras, only those of type $A_1$ have maximal index.
