Abstract

Over a field FF of any characteristic, for a commutative associative algebra AA with an identity element and for the polynomial algebra F[D]F[D] of a commutative derivation subalgebra DD of AA, the associative and the Lie algebras of Weyl type on the same vector space A[D]=AF[D]A[D]=A\otimes F[D] are defined. It is proved that A[D]A[D], as a Lie algebra (modular its center) or as an associative algebra, is simple if and only if AA is DD-simple and A[D]A[D] acts faithfully on AA. Thus a lot of simple algebras are obtained.
