Abstract

Relying on the classification of simple Lie algebras over algebraically closed fields of characteristic >3>3, we show that any finite-dimensional central simple 5-graded Lie algebra over a field kk of characteristic 2,3\neq 2,3 is a simple Lie algebra of Chevalley type, i.e. a central quotient of the Lie algebra of a simple algebraic kk-group. As a consequence, we prove that all central simple structurable algebras and Kantor pairs over kk arise from 5-gradings on simple Lie algebras of Chevalley type.
