Abstract

For n225n \geq 225 we show that every integer of the form n+2mn + 2m such that 02mn292nn0 \leq 2m \leq n^{2} - \frac{9}{2} n \sqrt{n} is the dimension of a connected semi-simple subalgebra of Mn(k)\mathrm{M}_{n}(k), that is, a subalgebra isomorphic to a direct sum of tt disjoint subalgebras Mni(k)\mathrm{M}_{n_{i}}(k), where i=1tni=n\sum_{i=1}^{t} n_{i} = n. From this, we conclude that the density of integers in [0,,n2][0,\ldots, n^{2}] which are the dimension of a semi-simple subalgebra of Mn(k)\mathrm{M}_{n}(k) tends to 11 as nn \rightarrow \infty.
