Abstract

We study \em disemisimple Lie algebras, i.e., Lie algebras which can be written as a vector space sum of two semisimple subalgebras. We show that a Lie algebra \mathfrakg is disemisimple if and only if its solvable radical coincides with its nilradical and is a prehomogeneous \mathfraks-module for a Levi subalgebra \mathfraks of \mathfrakg. We use the classification of prehomogeneous \mathfraks-modules for simple Lie algebras \mathfraks given by Vinberg to show that the solvable radical of a disemisimple Lie algebra with simple Levi subalgebra is abelian. We extend this result to disemisimple Lie algebras having no simple quotients of type A.
