On ϕ-ideals and the structure of Lie algebras

Abstract

This paper aims to study the concept of [Formula: see text]-ideals of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra which is analogous to the concept of [Formula: see text]-ideal and [Formula: see text]-normal subgroup. We compile some basic properties of [Formula: see text]-ideals and consider the influence of this concept on the structure of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra, especially its solvability and supersolvability. We also show that the counterpart of some results for [Formula: see text]-ideals of Lie algebras and [Formula: see text]-normal subgroups are not valid here.
