Abstract
The length of an element of a Lie algebra is defined as the smallest number needed to represent as a sum of brackets. The bracket width of is defined as supremum of the lengths of its elements. Given a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, we study the bracket width of current Lie algebras . We show that for an arbitrary the width is at most 2. For and we compute the width for algebras of types A and C.
