Abstract
We introduce the class of split Lie–Rinehart algebras as the natural extension of the one of split Lie algebras. We show that if [Formula: see text] is a tight split Lie–Rinehart algebra over an associative and commutative algebra [Formula: see text] then [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] decompose as the orthogonal direct sums [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], where any [Formula: see text] is a nonzero ideal of [Formula: see text], any [Formula: see text] is a nonzero ideal of [Formula: see text], and both decompositions satisfy that for any [Formula: see text], there exists a unique [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text]. Furthermore, any [Formula: see text] is a split Lie–Rinehart algebra over [Formula: see text]. Also, under mild conditions, it is shown that the above decompositions of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are by means of the family of their, respective, simple ideals.
