An identity in Lie algebras over fields of positive characteristic
Let $L$ be a Lie algebra over a field of characteristic $p>0$ and $D$ a derivation of $L$. For every $x\in L$ denote by $\mathrm{ad} x$ the adjoint map $\mathrm{ad}x: L \rightarrow L, a\mapsto [x,...

Derivations of central extensions of simple Lie algebras
Let $L$ be a finite-dimensional Lie algebra over a field of characteristic zero. It is not difficult to see (and also follows from Theorem 4.4 of [G. Hochschild: Semi-simple algebras and generalized ...
