A simple finite-dimensional $\\g$-module V is said to be $\\h$-indecomposable if it cannot be written as a direct sum of two proper $\\h$-submodules. We say that $\\h$ is wide, if all simple finite-dimensional $\\g$-modules are $\\h$-indecomposable. Some very special examples of indecomposable modules and wide subalgebras appear recently in the literature. In this paper, we describe several large classes of wide subalgebras of $\\g$ and initiate their systematic study. Our approach is based on the study of idempotents in the associative algebra of $\\h$-invariant endomorphisms of V. We also discuss a relationship between wide subalgebras and epimorphic subgroups.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-05-05T10:15:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "17B10", "17B70", "22E47" ], "keywords": [ "semisimple lie algebras", "simple finite-dimensional", "connected semisimple algebraic group", "wide subalgebras appear", "epimorphic subgroups" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1301.0488P" } } }
