Abstract:
We shall say that a solvable Lie algebra $L$ is a minimal nonnilpotent Lie algebra if $L$ is nonnilpotent but all proper subalgebras of $L$ are nilpotent. It is shown here that if $L$ is a minimal nonnilpotent Lie algebra, then $L$ is the vector space direct sum of $A$ and $F$ where $A$ is an ideal in $L,F$ is a one-dimensional subalgebra of $L$, either $A$ is a minimal ideal of $L$ or the center of $A$ coincides with the derived algebra, $A’$, of $A$ and in either case $F$ acts irreducibly on $A/A’$.References
