Extract

Let L, M be Lie algebras over the same field F and let ℒ(L), ℒ(M) denote their lattices of subalgebras. By an L-isomorphism (lattice isomorphism) of L onto M we mean an isomorphism θ: ℒ(L) → ℒ(M); that is, θ a bijective mapping from ℒ(L) onto ℒ(M) such that

and

for all subalgebras A, B of L (where AB denotes the subalgebra of L generated by A and B). We shall write A* for θ(A), the image of A ∈ ℒ(L) under an L-isomorphism from L onto M = L*. Then we may ask how closely related are L and L*. In particular, are such important concepts as semisimplicity, solvability, nilpotency and ideals preserved by L-isomorphisms?
