Abstract:
Over a field
of any characteristic, for a commutative associative
algebra ,
and for a commutative subalgebra
of
,
the vector space
which consists
of polynomials
of elements in
with coefficients in
and which is regarded as operators
on
forms naturally an associative algebra. It is
proved that, as an
associative algebra,
is simple if and only if
is -simple.
Suppose
is -simple. Then, (a)
is a free left -module; (b) as
a Lie algebra, the subquotient
is simple (except for one
case), where
is the center of .
The structure of this
subquotient is explicitly described. This extends
the results obtained by Su
and Zhao.
