Classification of restricted Lie algebras of reductive groups

$\DeclareMathOperator\Lie{Lie}$Let $G/K$ be a reductive group over a field $K$. In characteristic $0$ the Lie algebra is invariant under base change of fields, so to understand $\Lie(G)$ it is enough ...

Derived subalgebra of a restricted Lie algebra

Let $L$ be a restricted Lie algebra over a field of characteristic $p>0$. It is well known that the commutator subalgebra $[L,L]$ is not necessarily restricted (that is, closed under the $p$-map). ...

Restricted universal enveloping algebra of Abelian p-Lie algebra

Question: Let $p$ be a prime. Let $k$ be a commutative ring such that $p=0$ in $k$. Let $\mathfrak g$ be an abelian $p$-restricted Lie algebra over $k$. In other words, let $\mathfrak g$ be a $k$-...

Classification of simple Lie algebras over finite fields

Classification of simple (or simple-restricted) Lie algebras over algebraically closed fields in positive characteristic is studied for a long time. Today, we know all finite-dimensional simple (or ...

Simple restricted but not restricted simple Lie algebras

Let $F$ be a field which has a positive characteristic $p \ge 2$ and $(\mathfrak{g},[p])$ be a restricted Lie algebras over a field $F$ where $[p]$ is a $p$-th power map on $\mathfrak{g}$. $(\mathfrak{...

Restricted Lie algebras with no nonzero proper restricted subalgebras

Let $L\neq 0$ be a restricted Lie algebra over a field $F$ of characteristic $p>0$. If $F$ is algebraically closed, then it is known that $L$ has no nontrivial restricted subalgebras if and only ...
