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).

Maximal dimension of abelian ideals of a Lie algebra and extensions of the ground field
For a Lie algebra $L$ of dimension $n$ over a field ${\mathbb F}$ we denote by $\beta(L)$ the maximal dimension of abelian ideals of $L$. In general, $\beta(L)$ is not preserved under extensions of ...
