Abstract:
Dynkin classified the maximal semisimple subalgebras of exceptional Lie algebras up to conjugacy, but only classified the simple subalgebras up to the coarser relation of linear conjugacy. In the present paper the simple subalgebras of exceptional Lie algebras are classified up to conjugacy, and their normalizers in the group are found. In a certain sense, this completes the description of the semisimple subalgebras of semisimple Lie algebras. As a by-product we obtain a list of all those semisimple subalgebras of exceptional Lie algebras for which the linear conjugacy class does not coincide with their conjugacy class (in the classical case the corresponding result was known).
