Abstract

Let K be a field of characteristic zero, A = K[x1, . . . , xn] the polynomial ring and R = K(x1, . . . , xn) the field of rational functions in n variables over K. The Lie algebra Wn(K) of all K-derivations on A is of great interest since its elements may be considered as vector fields on Kn with polynomial coefficients. If L is a subalgebra of Wn(K), then one can define the rank rkAL of L over A as the dimension of the vector space RL over the field R. Finite dimensional (over K) subalgebras of Wn(K) of rank 1 over A were studied by the first author jointly with I. Arzhantsev and E. Makedonskiy. We study solvable subalgebras L of Wn(K) with rkAL = 1, without restrictions on dimension over K. Such Lie algebras are described in terms of Darboux polynomials.
