For the Lie algebras $g_n= \mathfrak{o}_{2n+1},\mathfrak{sp}_{2n},\mathfrak{o}_{2n}$ a simple construction of a base in an irreducible representation is given. The construction of this base uses the method of $Z$-invariants of Zhelobenko…
We show that a Lie algebra having a nilpotent radical has a fundamental set of invariants consisting of Casimir operators. We give a different proof of this fact in the special and well-known case where the radical is abelian.
