Abstract

Let \g\g be a classical Lie algebra, ee a nilpotent of \g\g element and >ge\gt g_e the centraliser of ee in \g\g. We prove that \ge=[\ge,\ge]\g_e=[\g_e,\g_e] if and only if ee is rigid. It is also shown that if ee is contained in [\ge,\ge][\g_e,\g_e], then the nilpotent radical of \ge\g_e coincides with [\g(1)e,\ge][\g(1)_e,\g_e], where \g(1)e\g(1)_e is an eigenspace of a characteristic of ee with the eigenvalue 1.
