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).

Proof of restrictableness of Lie algebra without basis
$\DeclareMathOperator\ad{ad}$According to the Strade and Farnsteiners' textbook, a Lie algebra $L$ is restrictable if and only if $\ad(L)$ is $p$-subalgebra of $\operatorname{Der}(L)$. Also, the ...

Automorphism groups of "reductive" Lie algebras in positive characteristic
I put "reductive" in quotes because, of course, in positive characteristic one should speak of Lie algebras of reductive groups, not of reductive Lie algebras.
Let $G$ be a reductive group ...

Restricted universal extensions and lifting of derivations
Let $L$ be a perfect Lie algebra. Then it is well-known that $L$ has a universal central extension $\hat{L}$ and every derivation of $L$ can be lifted to a derivation of $\hat{L}$. (See e.g. Section 2 ...
